Building the Apollo Soyuz Test Project out of LEGO bricks
Briefly

Lego has focused on celebrating major space missions like Apollo while neglecting the Skylab era and Apollo Soyuz Test Project. A new model embraces the Apollo Command and Service Module and the Soviet Soyuz spacecraft, showcasing detailed builds inspired by historical missions. The design selected is that of the Soyuz 7K-TM flown by cosmonauts during collaborative efforts in space. Online platforms like Rebrickable allow enthusiasts to find build instructions and parts lists for unique models that aren't available in stores, adding creativity to the Lego experience.
The Lego bricks are being dusted off for a final time - at least for the Apollo program - to recreate the Apollo Soyuz Test Project via the medium of the plaything.
The build would also involve a Soviet Soyuz spacecraft and the docking module used to connect the spacecraft in orbit.
The build is a joy to do, made even more enjoyable by the knowledge that there's nothing like it in the average Lego store.
The detail on the Soyuz is impressive, as is the docking mechanism used on the Soviet spacecraft and docking module.
