The Designers - Valerie Roche and Felix Stiessen
With a shared passion for both space exploration and LEGO building, Valerie Roche (aka Whatsuptoday) and Felix Stiessen (aka Saabfan) worked closely together to create their impressive Apollo 11 Mission model for LEGO Ideas.“It actually took quite a long time to finish the whole model. There were often times when one of us just abandoned the project for a few weeks and came back to it later, however, thanks to the fact that it is a collaborative project it was always the case that one of us continued making progress on the project and re-motivated the other. All in all we would say it took us about a year to complete.” “We were surprised (and happy of course) when we learned our model would be the latest one in the LEGO Ideas series. What we like about the Lego Ideas platform is the feedback and support you get from the community. It’s great to reply to comments, read suggestions and improve your model in the updates. Of course the chance of designing your own Lego set is also really cool!”
