Saturn V rocket

Several years ago, I found one on-line and bought it for him, along with all the paints and brushes. He was so pleased it's still sitting on the shelf after all this time, because he can't bring himself to put it together. He says once it's made, it's made and that's it. So... when I realized there was a Lego one, it killed several birds with one stone. He loves the rocket; it can come apart and be done again; he loves puzzles and models and it's his Christmas present.

He's had a rough year this year, so I'm hoping this as one of his gifts, plus a beer advent calendar I've got for him will be nice treats for him.

Thank you for all photos and info everyone, it looks great. I can't wait to see his face when he opens it!

I have a lot of projects like this...including shelves! They look so nice in their packaging it would be such a shame to ruin them by taking the wrapping off
