This time I’ve built the Shovel Buggy from the Classic Space series.

Booklet’s model.

My version.

I didn’t have most of the required grey pieces; instead, I used black and blue blocks to compensate. Well, I think it’s also great that way. That would be all for today. End of line.

When I was a kid, one of my favorites toys were LEGO blocks. Thanks to a friend of the family who gave me, a bucket full of these famous blocks, as well as my very first ColecoVision system. Well, let’s get back to LEGOs! I could spend countless hours building houses, towers, vehicles and other things. Most of the blocks were from the Classic Space series and, as it often happens when you get used LEGO sets, the instructions booklets were missing. So, I spent all these years not knowing how to build space shuttles and lunar scooters. It was until recently, when I’ve decided to look for archives of instructions booklets, that I’ve found this website. This place contains scans of several building instructions from the Space series and others as well. I’ve decided to give a try on one of the easiest models and here’s how it came out:

The model as pictured on the booklet.

My version of the Space Shuttle.

Well, when I said I owned a used set, this also meant that some of the original pieces were missing. So, I had to improvise a little. Anyway, I had a lot of fun building this shuttle and I’m planning to build another model soon. I fell back in my childhood and that was great. End of line.
