For my first LEGO build since January, I’m going to build this Lunar Rover from 2022. Let’s see how it stacks up to similar rovers from the 1980’s.

Next up for disassembly and storage: Mission Commander (6986), the Space Police flagship from 1989. More here: https://mpospese.com/2019/04/02/space-1989/#6986
Lion Knight’s Castle: completed
Here’s what the whole castle looks like opened and closed. I still haven’t placed all the minifigs. In its closed position the castle looks attractive from all angles; there is no “back” side. I spread the build experience out over nine days.
Castle Bag 26
Lion Knight’s Castle Bag 26/26: We add a stone ramp leading up to the drawbridge and we assemble a contingent of three Black Falcons. The squire gets to carry a huge backpack. And that’s it. Build complete. That was by far the largest LEGO set I’ve ever built.
Castle Bag 25
Lion Knight’s Castle Bag 25/26: We finally finish topping off the gatehouse. I like the guard blowing the trumpet. Almost done!
Castle Bag 24
Lion Knight’s Castle Bag 24/26: We add a portcullis behind the drawbridge plus a mechanism to raise it and we put foliage on the tree. I love the beehive (and that the hive piece fits over a minifig head for shenanigans). I didn’t manage to get this built over my holiday break!
Castle Bag 23
Lion Knight’s Castle Bag 23/26: We finally mount the mechanism for lowering the drawbridge and complete the armory.
Castle Bag 22
Lion Knight’s Castle Bag 22/26: (built this yesterday) We build up the gatehouse even more with shields mounted over the front gate and start work on an armory.
Castle Bag 21
Lion Knight’s Castle Bag 21/26: We add a portcullis to the rear stairs and build the shitter plus murder holes along a parapet section.
Castle Bag 20
Lion Knight’s Castle Bag 20/26: We build the drawbridge with an interesting counterweight mechanism whereby its default position is raised and you pull the chains to lower it. Anyone standing on the bridge when it goes up gets dumped into the dungeon or catapulted into the keep.
