Explore LEGO Technic like never before
Model Designer Olav Krøjgaard takes readers behind the scenes of the LEGO Technic 42221 NASA Artemis model. The toy maker extraordinaire discusses recreating NASA’s iconic rocket and incorporating fully functional mechanisms.
“We came up with this element that is only one module thick and is easy to put in the rocket, then lock it to the sides,” he says – and if you get the mag, you can learn how he and the team came up with a whole new brick for the set.
The LEGO Artemis feature makes Issue 136 essential reading for anyone interested in LEGO space sets, Technic engineering, and NASA-inspired models.
