Mission Apollo 17

                                              The NASA Apollo 17 Mission out of Lego!

This project will be presented in September 2016 at BrickJournal magazine # 41, as part of a special edition about space! :-)

Recreate at a minifigure-scale (1:40), the whole Apollo 17 Moon landing with all its features and glory.
Fly the flag of the United States.
Analyze the moon surface.
After that take a ride with the Moon buggy to explore the Moon landscape.
Finally it is time to say good bye to the Moon and fly back to Earth.
