LEGO 6076795 NASA Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover Set

this is a great lego kit of the nasa/jpl curiosity mars rover. designed by a real nasa jpl engineer who worked on the real thing but also designed this lego model. the lego website has now discontinued this product and prices are climbing as it is collectable. very accurate model, made of lego. key features include articulated suspension (no springs) and front mounted robot arm. there is also a moveable mast with geological survey head with cameras. all these details are covered in the extensive booklet supplied, including building instructions. will appeal to all ages of space enthusiasts, or lego builders/collectors. parents of young children may have to supervise as there are several small parts which could be a choking hazard to the very young.its worth looking at videos of this on you tube, which will help you decide to part with some money for it. ignore the comments about getting this for $30 usd, as lego no longer supply it. the real thing is still running happily on mars, as pictures on nasa's website show.great for space education, as well as fun to look, hold and play with, just be careful no small parts become detatched when played with by younger children. intermediate building skills required.

I had never seen this model, wish there were more like it.No a difficult model, Just of interest
