About the subject:
Skylab was NASA's first and only space station.It was launched on May 14, 1973 aboard a Saturn V rocket with the upper stage modified for crew and science experiments.
Unfortunately the launch knocked the meteoroid shield off, which also tore off a solar panel and jammed the other one.
NASA sent three crews to the station before it burned up in the atmosphere on July 11, 1979.
Fun Fact: the pieces fell into southern Australia and the local people fined NASA 400 dollars for littering (NASA never paid).

About the model:
I believe this model is very accurate. It has the command module from the Saturn V rocket (set number 92176) because Skylab used the same capsule as the Apollo missions.
This model is to scale with Lego's astronaut nanofigures and could potentially be modified to attach to the Saturn V rocket.
