Building guide

Make a first journey

Lift off the lid and put the Moon alien inside. Keep the cockpit open while it rides aboard. Carry the craft by its lower body, then land and lift out the alien.

Building guide

Come home

Lift the roof and settle the Moon alien inside. Tell a story about the place it visited.

Building guide

Build one, or build together

Use each guide’s list for one build. For the whole scene, the collection inventory counts all six builds and the Moon alien once.

Space parts requirements

Build one, or build together

For one model, use its own parts list. For all six space models together, add their quantities and count the Moon alien once. To make each model in turn, keep the largest quantity needed for each exact shape and colour.
