In My Day It Was Jigsaws,

that people, mainly kids completed,

or Mecanao, now it is LEGO, that keep hands and minds busy, all images © LEGO, on February 1, LEGO launched a new Expert Creator that’s on a mission to explore outer space,

 Christoph Ruge designed the kit as part of a proposal for the 10th anniversary of the iconic brand’s ideas program,

 comprised of 864 pieces, the International Space Station set is equipped with a robotic arm for satellite deployment, a miniature dock, and two astronauts ready to traverse the built-in spacewalk,

 the model has eight movable solar panels, three cargo spacecrafts, and booklet detailing the history of the design, fully built, the realistic model stands more than 7 inches high, 12 inches long, and 19 inches wide, 

and here is the fun bit, see if you can put it together in the 92 minutes it takes the real model to orbit the earth, I have to say it I missed out on the LEGO craze that still seems to be with us now, all of the models we have featured so far seem to look like great fun, rather like in my day Meccano.
