Time to stop mucking us about, Brian!
As they sometimes chant at the "Summernats" in Canberra: Show us your bits!*
(When you've stuck some together, that is.)

*Well, it SOUNDS something like that!
Show us your bits, eh? :$ :lol: I think I'll reveal my Saturn V bits one stage at a time. ;) Once I complete each stage I'll post a couple of pics of that stage. Until that happy day when the first stage of the Saturn V is complete, I'll show you the contents of the box. And as a bonus I'll show you the project manager of the build...Jose Jimenez, himself! You can thank Joe for the "Jose Jimenez" bit. :lol:

Here are the contents of the box. Twelve bags of Lego goodies, and a very nice construction manual. Jose Jimenez mini figure not included. :lol:

Here's a look at the first page of the construction manual. Nice! :)

And here is the Lego mini figure who will supervise the build, "Jose Jimenez" himself. (seen in his non-astronaut outfit) :bandit:

Next stop...the completion of the first stage of the Saturn V. B-)

I can almost hear Jose singing 'A Space Oddity ' from here. Looking forward to the progress shots, Brian. ;)

While construction continues on the Saturn V, Jose Jimenez (aka Major Juan) takes time out for his official astronaut photograph. :bandit:

Stage 1, and its interstage ring, are complete! :Dance: Six of the twelve bags of Lego bits were used just to get this far. :-O Jose Jimenez (aka Major Juan) appears impressed. :lol:
