Launch Tower (LUT) for the Lego Saturn V set 21309 or 92176 with integrated crawler.
It is built completely from parts of the three Lego Technic sets 42055, 42082 and 42098.
Hope you enjoy my storyline, which is not intended to be taken too serious. :)
Btw: The slightly change of the three names was intended to avoid mix-up with the real names... ;)

How my LUT looks after adding some additional parts (instructions for these upgrades are also available at rebrickable.com): bricksafe.com/files/Janotech/lut/LUT_with_upgrades.jpg

Hi I have bought the instructions from you but was wondering where did you get the white elements for the fuel pipes from thanks

[@janotechnic5045]

@@hareydene The fuel pipes are not included in the three Technic sets, you need to buy them in addition. I have bought my pipes (=soft axles) and the red beams for the tower upgrade from bricklink.

[@MrSteamDragon]

Lego need to pick this up. Wow 👍🏻

[@Jimmy-Vance]

Mission accomplished. Took me roughly 7 days and it is EPIC. I have not the slightest idea how you developed this monster, how much thinking and work went into this. Are you an engineer? Anyway, the instructions are crystal clear. I had no issues whatsoever. I can highly recommend this MOC. Thank you!

[@janotechnic5045]

Thanks! I´m happy that you like the build and the MOC itself! :)

[@JPMadden]

You must have hardly slept! Took me 2-3 weeks.

[@bonz...1366]

@@JPMadden how much did it take to buy all the pieces?

[@JPMadden]

@@bonz...1366 All parts come from sets 42055, 42082, and 42098, except for string for crane. The first 2 sets are no longer sold by LEGO, and 42098 might have been recently discontinued. I paid about 600-650 US dollars in total, going back to 2017. I'm guessing it would be significantly more now to buy these old sets from third parties. Perhaps BrickLink has them for sale.

[@Jimmy-Vance]

@@JPMadden Took a week off from work, began at 7am and kept building until 8 to 9 pm with some breaks in between of course. Man my back was hurting like crazy. Sitting on the floor for that long was kind of an adventure I must say.

[@robinbreurken8739]

My next build. I have all the pieces according to the list. Bought big red second hand, skipped the bucket wheel due to 2nd hand price and acquired the needed pieces from that set. Just need to finish the stratos project and this will be next. Really looking forward to this huge build!!!!

[@reinier9839]

genius. lovde the elevator

[@celticdabs6428]

Tips for things like bring the base clamps up, use fishing wire instead of your hand

[@celticdabs6428]

And then you can stuff red present stuffing paper into the base and attach it to the rocket so as you pull it out it looks like glames

[@celticdabs6428]

Excuse my grammar. 35 hours worked in 3 days. I'm tired

[@JPMadden]

I built this earlier this year. All parts come from sets 42055, 42082, and 42098. Only complaint is how long it took! Fantastic MOC. Instructions very cheap at 25 euros. Used size 10 cotton thread for the crane. Hardest part is tying the string to the elevator inside the tower, had to use 2 pairs of pliers, probably too much or too little tension, elevator doesn't work well.

[@janotechnic5045]

Thanks! :) Concerning the elevator: It should work quite smoothly kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnOYpYyHd7mSqrs You have to check that there is not too much tension, better too less than too much... ;)

@Richardo Franzie I did it!

[@jimcurt99]

GORGEOUS- great build- LOVE it

[@TinkeringJohn]

Fantastic build. I’ve wanted to do this but make it more like the real thing. The crawler and mobile launch pad are 2 separate units. The crawler sets the mobile launch pad on pillars and drives out from under it for the launch of the rocket.

[@janotechnic5045]

I´ve also wanted to do this and already had some sketches for it, but this would mean the need of a 4th big technic set... perhaps next time. ;)

[@ogg666]

Truly stunning. Just wow. Great video. Thinking of building this, but that 42055 set is really expensive, even used. Missed out on that one years ago. I'll pick up the instructions anyway. Cheers.

[@kulaak-krii]

We need a parts list for this so we can just order the parts rather than the sets!

[@jaysomewhereinflyoverterri735]

When I finish this build, I'm going to add lighting to it. Whether or not this is historically correct, I will have one blinking red light at the top of the crane, 4 red lights at the 4 corners of the top of the gantry, 4 or 5 white spot lights shining from the gantry toward the rocket, each will be a white LED light inside of a clear 1X1 circular plate with a black cylinder part attached to direct the light, and the clear parts will be painted black as to only allow the light to come out as like a spot light. The underside of the launch pad/crawler will be lit with several blue lights. Anyway, that is my plan.

[@jaysomewhereinflyoverterri735]

The 4 double lights on the base of the launch pad will also be lit in white.

[@gieselats]

Holy cow. Awesome. Man. Really fantastic.

[@FlyingFish2314]

Just bought the instructions I will be ordering parts very soon! Thank you for creating such an awesome build I wonder if you ever considered building the launch tower for The Shuttle Adventure set since they're the same 1/110th scale

[@janotechnic5045]

I considered building a launch tower for the 10283 Space Shuttle, but unfortunatelly it is not 1:110 scale, and has no booster/tank... ;( so I have to wait for the next Lego Space Shuttle modell...

[@FlyingFish2314]

@@janotechnic5045 check out lego set 10231 its the older 1/110th scale shuttle with boosters and fuel tank! It's rather expensive on the secondary market since it's retired but its an awesome set. With your talent it would be awesome to see your take on a launch tower for that set. 😁 EDIT: the set number is 10231 & 10213 it is the same set though must be different numbers for different regions

[@EmmanuelB]

Okay, this is brillant. Truely awesome, and it adresses a LOT ot what is usually a problem for the other LUT models. I just feel the "all-technic" aspect of it is too different from the Saturn V model to perfectly blend. But I love it anyway.

Any idea where I can get these sets you have used? I’ve seen Lego has retired two of the sets. For the crawler was it two of the bucket wheel excavator sets?

[@janotechnic5045]

I guess looking for used sets is currently the cheapest option. Or buying only the needed parts at bricklink. It was only used one BWE set, but the parts were not only used in the crawler.

[@nowayout20042003]

@@janotechnic5045 do you have the list of bricks needed on rebricable website. If I pay for the drawings I get the instructions as well as the bricks needed?

[@janotechnic5045]

@@nowayout20042003 You can even view and use the parts list for free on rebrickable. E.g. you can easily upload the parts list to bricklink. Or simply remove the parts and sets that you already have from the parts list. There are a lot of possibilities to use the rebrickable functions without buying the instructions. In the instructions itself, there is an additional parts list for each of the 5 chapters (to help sorting the parts for each chapter).

[@janotechnic5045]

Thanks! As these sets are all EOL, I would suggest to buy them in used condition. As these sets are often only built once and rarely played with, the parts should be in a quite good condition. In Germany for example, you could get these sets for below 500 Euro, sometimes 400 Euro could be possible.
