UGears NASA Lunar Rover Mechanical 3D Wooden Model Kit
Model Overview:
Our fascination with exploration and cars takes center stage with Ugears’ NASA Lunar Rover model, inspired by the iconic Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) used during Apollo missions. Just two years after Neil Armstrong’s historic moonwalk, astronauts were driving the LRV across the lunar surface to gather scientifically significant moon rocks. The LRV’s engineering was nothing short of remarkable, designed to endure extreme conditions and allow astronauts to travel farther and more efficiently on the moon. Ugears’ NASA Lunar Rover celebrates this legacy, capturing the spirit of space exploration in a 1:15 scale wooden model that mimics the LRV’s design and function, including folding wheel sections and a spring-driven mechanism that allows it to travel distances up to 3 meters.
This DIY model is a fun, educational project that doesn’t require glue or special tools, making it accessible for builders of all ages. The NASA Lunar Rover features realistic details like rotating wheels with rubber treads, a folding dish antenna, and a front-mounted camera. Its dynamic transformer mechanism lets you fold it for transport, just like the real rover. Made from art-quality composite wood, this out-of-this-world 3D puzzle includes precision-cut pieces and step-by-step instructions in 11 languages. Whether you’re a space enthusiast, a model hobbyist, or simply looking for a unique gift, the Ugears NASA Lunar Rover promises hours of fun and imaginative play while honoring humanity’s enduring spirit of discovery.
