I did wonder if it was a refugee from HG Wells' "The War of the Worlds" or Stephen Baxter's "The Massacre of Mankind"

First off, more skin panels. The red parts are clips to which the second stage will be attached - they are designed to hold it securely in place but allow it to be detached if you're demonstrating the Apollo flight profile.

 

Hopefully whilst making suitably rocket like "rumble and roar" noises instead of the usual Brrrrmmmmmmm noises

 

Excellent mini project and thanks for sharing it.

Brilliant... now I know what I've got in store for me when I finally break the seal on mine.  Wasn't the creation of those wickle figures a first for Lego?  I forget the terminology used, but something like the first custom part for one of the creators' projects.  Or thereabouts.  There is some fiendishly inventive ways of using parts during the build, such as the escape tower and the floatation bladders on the CM ^_^

Should have pointed out that the LM fits quite beautifully inside the adapter, as on the real thing:

And how about this for a diorama - only three pieces!

Why do you think the Apollo programme was brought to an early close? :ninja:

Apparently the crew of Apollo 8 (the first mission to orbit the Moon) considered reporting a large black object on the far side. They thought better of it, but Arthur C. Clarke never quite forgave them for resisting the temptation!

Alongside the train set, you mean?

dont read the times today.... big article on Dick Smallbridge's programme tonight and a feature on "toy train celebrity enthusiasts" like Rod Stewart, Roger Daltrey and Neil Young with honourable mentions for Eric Clapton and Phil Collins.

 

Reliably informed that Daniel Craig is Lego mental.

But what would its name be? Lemmy the LM (or LEM, if you remember that far back)? :D

Well, there is a slight resemblance - those lumpy bits on the port side of the cabin (the right as you look at the photo)...
