HI, Well,it seems as though everyones scratch building these days,which is great,if no one makes the kit you want,build it.?Anyway,its been thunder/lightening,everybody was frightening,,,,,oops thats a song?,Any way,i had a look at some images for proposed moon landers and found a few,as the ones ive got out of kits,look dated now?i thought,lets make one for free,..20 minutes going through the spares boxes,and ive found enough bits to at least have a go,at one of the images i found,thought i,d do the easy one first?.I thought it cannot do any harm,and the best thing is its free materials,so far its just a old space shuttle stand,some sprue? So heres a few pics of sorting out which im building,and a couple of hours work,seeing how it will go together? heres what i was thinking of building.... and First off,sort out some bits to use,... found a few girders etc there... i can see a robotic arm ,in there somewhere.... end result,can you see the shuttle crawler there? Loads of lovely sprue... started by cutting up the crawler,to get some long lengths of angle plastic... ive got no idea,how big its going to be,its determined by what plastic ive got? thought the shuttle base,would make a good couple of engine housings fo the descent engines? something like that,i,ll go for the bell on the right i think?its the Apollo cm engine. so lets see how big its going to be? thats where the descent engines will be.. well i was thinking that looks a bit familiar,and about the same size too? cutting up the crawler sides trying to work out,a shell and engine compartment,that looks a bit like the photo? gluing in position trying some old plastic bottles for fuel tanks? not quite sure,if that looks like i want it to,but nothings fixed in stone yet? still reminds me of an eagle though? 49 p for twelve balls ,brill for fuel tanks? well thats it for now,im enjoying building it,just not sure what it will turn out like?i suppose kids will play with it,if its not what i want? thanks for looking,any comments welcome,thoughts? cheers Don
