A Third Model that is Out of This World!

I present the Space Rescue Craft, an out of this world Third Model of LEGO®'s Rescue Helicopter 42092!

The Space Rescue Craft was a long time in the making. I was really stuck on creating a Third Model of the Rescue Helicopter that met my goals of:

  • using all of the key pieces,

  • having a cool mechanical element, and

  • retaining a connection to the original set.


In order to get unstuck, I had to completely change my approach to the design. My original approach was to start with a general idea and build towards it. For example, I started to build an airplane and tried to make all of the pieces fit into that idea. I had a eureka moment when I completely changed my approach from a general idea to a specific element of the build. The specific element I chose to focus on was the "cool mechanical element". I focused on how I might use all of the gears and the helicopter blades in a model...any model. From the chaos, the Space Rescue Craft was organically formed as I added features and the structure to my mechanical elements. The result is what you see here.

I am really pleased with the result of this Third Model. The video below highlights goes into a few more details about the build and the model. If you are interested in building the Space Rescue Craft, you can download the instructions for free from Rebrickable here.
