roymattblack Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) I just came back from a holiday in the USA and over there, they have an incredible range of small etched metal kits that cost literally a few quid. I bought four - a Ford Mustang, Fender Strat, Millennium Falcon, and the Lunar module. The LM looks probably the most impressive. Imagine my surprise when I found them on Amazon UK...: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fascinations-Apollo-Lunar-Module/dp/B00JMQR448 There are DOZENS of kits - aircraft, ships, tanks, cars, buildings - Star Wars etc..... The Ford Mustang will be built first, and I'll post a thread. LM next. Roy. Edited August 21, 2014 by roymattblack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowler0000 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I was just looking at these things a few weeks ago. Fancy the Sci-Fi & real space stuff, The others look a bit simplified. Look forward to the build.... Lets see you try & "super detail" THESE, Roy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raystorm Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Just got the lunar module, at that price would be daft not to! Looks a nice kit as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 If it's made of etch, won't the skin of the model be thicker than that of the real thing.....Surely really thin tinfoil would have been more suitable, or maybe cellophane and Alclad?

stan Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Ended up with the Lunar Module and R2D2 from Amazon. Also spent some cash on a guitar as a sort of bucket list purchase. Fingers are so sore so fiddling with etch might be a problem for a while. Thanks Roy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omegaman Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I built the LM a few weeks ago, I will aim to post. I also have started the mars rover. A guy at work has a few of these and pointed me to them, the millenium falcon is worth a look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
