- Creator Notes:
The finished model stands 25 cm tall, I have included a full parts list but just the main rocket body could be built and the CSM from the Saturn V attached (add the CMS in at step 9 – the engine fits inside the body of the rocket). The design of the Little Joe II rocket is my own work, the service module in the instructions incorporates several features of Saturn V design (attitude thrusters and a ring to allow the capsule to separate easily. The design of the LES and capsule is identical to the Saturn V (It just wouldn’t have looked right if I had changed it and to be honest what would be better anyway? the LEGO Saturn V design is perfect.)
