LEGO By the Book Galaxy Explorer 497

[@anneliseolsen6896]

You're going to love building set 10497, it's got a lot of neat features, and build techniques. It's also quite significantly larger than this original set 928 Galaxy Explorer. Oh, it also builds the two smaller versions, that were separate sets back in the day, but you can only build one version, as all the 3x6 angle plates gets used in each of the builds. Also. Being about the same age as you, being born the same year, Classic Space was part of our childhood, seeing as my first Lego: Space set was the Classic Space set 6809 XT-5 and droid, and I got that when I was 5 years old in 1988.

My daughter is curious, what app or website do you use for the online instructions? We really enjoy your build videos!

For anything as far back as 1996, I typically use Lego.com. They have an archive of instructions going that far back. For sets before that I typically use Lego.BrickInstrucitons.com.

Is there an old set you would like to see me build? An old Castle or Pirate ship maybe?
