Based on one person building the set for the first time, following the original instructions and using numbered bags where supplied. Includes normal piece-finding and minor adjustments; excludes long breaks, filming, dismantling and modifications. Sources may use different methods. This range is neither a statistical interval nor a limit: your build may take less or more time.

How we estimate times · sources and method

Articulated body, fingers, visor and stand. Main astronaut only. The three central durations are model-specific editorial assessments. Planning ranges extend approximately from 65% to 145%, rounded to quarter-hours; they are not measured experience-level averages or guaranteed limits.

Sources do not always specify the builder’s experience. The three experience bands are our editorial assessment, based on the complexity of the set and individual accounts where available.

Beyond the set

The stories, places and inventions behind your build.

Why some suits are orange

Shuttle launch and re-entry suits were orange to make astronauts more visible at sea or in emergencies.

Read the full story

The museum’s orange launch-and-entry suit improves visibility, including in the ocean after an emergency. Colour serves recognition and recovery. Different mission phases need different suits, so capsule travel and outside activity help explain changes in form and appearance.

Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum

A little personal spacecraft

Spacewalk suits combine a pressurised garment and life-support system, protecting astronauts outside the cabin.

Read the full story

The museum compares an EMU with a personal spacecraft, combining a pressure garment and life-support system. Flexible layers have different protective functions. Its human shape should not conceal an engineered system that enables work outside a habitable vehicle.
