Lego New Horizons

This is my Lego replica of New Horizons, the first probe to Pluto. I will show you how to make one.

The Body

To make the body, take a small base plate, then make a triangle shape on top with yellow bricks.

In the Middle put a connector for the communications dish.

Generator and Thruster

For the generator, I used cylinders, then put tires on it. For the thruster, put a connecting piece and a rim, then attach it.

Final Result

After building, this is what it will look like. The probe was launched in 2006. It flew past Pluto in 2015
