How to customize the LEGO® Ideas Tales of the Space Age set

For Eleanor, space has always been a big interest. “As a child I remember getting a miniature LEGO International Space Station set. I would watch videos and find pictures and try to learn about it.”

When approaching this LEGO customization project, Eleanor found inspiration in realistic designs and spaceships of the future.

“One of the things I really like is the concept of interplanetary ships. A lot of rockets right now are just getting into orbit, but we don’t really have anything that can carry large loads of people in between planets. A lot of proposals for this type of thing are long trusses with massive fuel pods and sometimes radiators over a hundred meters long, so, my design is inspired by those.”
