Mini JWST

There have been a few James Webb Space Telescopes on Lego Ideas, but none this small. At just 99 parts, this mini build makes a nice desk or shelf piece for those with smaller spaces.

I was originally inspired to build this after the successful and much anticipated launch of the JWST in late 2021. At the time, I had a 2 year old who was very into Duplo. I hadn't built with Lego since being a kid myself, so I decided to order some pieces to see if I could build the JWST, on a super small scale as a challenge and to save money. A few prototypes later, here is my creation. I've always been hugely inspired by space exploration. I hope this mini build can inspire others to maybe get back into building Lego, or give it a try for the first time.
