We're finally getting the LEGO Icons Project Hail Mary set, number 11389! With 830 pieces, this build captures the unique, triple-hulled vessel from the book, featuring the iconic primary propulsion. The box art really nails the sleek, functional design, hinting at some clever sub-assemblies inside.
Flipping the box reveals the impressive scale of this build, standing 12 inches tall and 8.5 inches wide. The engineers behind this set clearly focused on robust clutch power to support the articulating solar arrays, which are packed with detailed greebling. It's fantastic to see how securely the main vessel connects to its display pylon.
Just look at this beauty! The main ship's core, meticulously crafted with cylindrical sub-assemblies, perfectly replicates the novel's description. You can really appreciate the greebling on the engines and the smooth white tiles that give it that sleek, futuristic finish, contrasting with the visible studs elsewhere.
Here's our intrepid Ryland Grace minifigure, ready to tackle any engineering challenge with his oversized wrench. Next to him, the ingenious NPU for Rocky, crafted from unique brown elements, truly brings the alien friend to life. That printed data panel, likely showing astrophage schematics, is a fantastic detail that grounds this build in its story.
From this angle, you can really see the elegant taper of the vessel and how the main body gracefully attaches to the angled display stand. The use of SNOT techniques throughout the primary hull creates a remarkably smooth surface, a testament to clever engineering. The entire structure feels incredibly stable, thanks to strong clutch power in its central support.
This shot gives us a great look at the spread of the enormous solar arrays, a crucial design element for interstellar travel. The intricate greebling on the reverse of these panels and around the engine nozzles is just sublime, adding so much depth and realism to the build. You can almost hear the hum of the xenonite reactors.
What's truly impressive is the articulation built into this model. The solar arrays can be independently adjusted, likely thanks to robust hinge plates or click joints, offering a variety of display options. And check out that articulated robotic arm – it's a clever sub-assembly designed to pose and interact, bringing a dynamic element to the static display.
See how easily the Project Hail Mary fits into a home environment, proving its excellent display footprint. The base, adorned with the mission plaque and figures, makes it a perfect conversation starter without dominating a space. This set is a must-have for any fan of hard sci-fi, or anyone who appreciates ingenious brick-built spacecraft.
