Little satellite, a brick build

LET’S MAKE A LITTLE SOMETHING

Little satellite

13 pieces 8 steps

Two blue solar-panel wings stretch from a white body above a broad stand. A yellow receiver points upwards, ready for a pretend message from home.

A little before you begin

The satellite is supported by a fixed stand. Its panels and receiver do not turn.

Lift the model by the stand and central body, keeping the long panels clear.

Count studs to check gaps and overhangs. New pieces keep their colour; earlier pieces look lighter. Before you build →

A LITTLE PREPARATION

Gather your pieces

Match the shapes and quantities. The pictures show our colours. Colour names in the steps refer to the pictures; keep useful contrasts, such as a light belly against a dark body.

WHEN THE BUILDING IS DONE

Now for the little story.

Send a three-word message to the moon base. Invent a weather report for a planet with two suns. Count the blue panel sections, then give each one a pretend job.
