The Moon: Lunar Landscape

Hi everyone, just wanted to share some exciting news! "The Moon: Lunar Landscape" has reached 7k votes and is well on its way to 10k. Thanks for all of your support so far. Since submitting the digital design to LEGO Ideas, I have wanted to build the design for real.

I sourced all the necessary parts from Pick a Brick, custom printed some bricks, and spent the past week bringing my digital design to life.

It was such a thrill to finally see the poster in person after staring at it on a screen for so long. The build process was challenging and rewarding, and now that it's complete, I'm incredibly proud of how it turned out. It looks even better hanging on my wall than I had imagined, and I think it really captures the retro science poster vibe I was aiming for.

With your continued support, we can hit the 10k mark and convince LEGO to approve this project so that everyone who supported it can also build and display it in their own homes.

What do you think about how it turned out in real life?

As we approach the 5,000 supporters milestone, I wanted to take a moment to share with you some of the inspiration behind "The Moon: Lunar Landscape" Lego Art poster.

As a child, I was fascinated by space travel, astronomy, and all things related to the cosmos. I vividly remember visiting the Cape Canaveral Space Center and feeling in awe of the rockets and spacecraft on display. This passion for space has stayed with me throughout my life, and it is what inspired me to create this Lego Art poster.

Another interest of mine is maps. I enjoy creating highly detailed maps built out of Lego that convey topographical details in 3D. This passion has also influenced my approach to designing the Moon for this poster. I wanted to make sure that the unique craters and terrain features were accurately represented, and that the Moon's stunning topography was captured in as much detail as possible.

In addition to space and maps, I'm also a big sci-fi and design fan. This has informed the cool, retro style of the poster, which I hope will appeal to others. It has been enormous fun to bring all of these passions together in this submission. 

I'm thrilled by the support that "The Moon: Lunar Landscape" has received so far and its Staff Pick, and I'm grateful to everyone who has taken the time to click the SUPPORT button. Please continue to share this project with others who might be interested, and let's work together to reach the 10,000 supporters goal.

Thank you for your support!
