FYI, that Saturn V is an official LEGO kit, and you can build it yourself:

That base doesn’t count if it isn’t at minifig scale.

That Saturn V kit burns in my heart but where would I put it? When would I do it?

The Saturn rocket is not to minfig scale either.

It is glorious, and I’m so glad I have one.

But yes, it does take up a lot of space. It is, however, considerably smaller than the 33" long Millennium Falcon model that I’ll absolutely never have room to display, so I’ll take it.

Yeah but I don’t care about that one. I’ve picked my battle. You’re more than welcome to complain about the rocket. I can share.

A to-scale Saturn V would be about 8.6 feet (2.78m) tall.

…and the problem with that is…? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I wasn’t complaining, just noting. That said an 8 and a half foot tall rocket would be AWESOME. I mean I don’t have the space for the existing one so might as well go nuts.

It’s to microfigure scale, and comes with three astronauts.

My neighbour’s sits neatly on a windowsill.

I don’t drool on the glass too much…

Mine sits on the mantelpiece behind my computer, although I’ve built a SkyLab payload to go on the top (instructions).
If you stand it up vertically it’s only about 12cm across, so it’s relativity easy to find somewhere to put it.

Gives the whole model a completely different look.
