saturnapollo Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) My contribution for the Apollo 11 50th anniversary. Finally finished the LM - and the whole combo. I'm afraid at this scale the photos show it to be a bit scruffy, though the photos are about 3 times actual size! Last time I did a 1/72 scale LM I was 15 and I hadn't realised just how small it is at this scale! And constant touching up being required has not helped. Hopefully the final photos will look a bit better rather than the flash photography - and there are a lot of combinations I can do. I hadn't weighted down the S-IVB, not thinking the CSM and LM would add much weight at the forward end, so it sits further back on the stand than I intended. Ah, well too late now.https://www.flickr.com/photos/spacemodelsphotography/47369015381/in/album-72157669731076195/https://www.flickr.com/photos/spacemodelsphotography/40403494463/in/album-72157669731076195/https://www.flickr.com/photos/spacemodelsphotography/47369015451/in/album-72157669731076195/https://www.flickr.com/photos/spacemodelsphotography/40403494483/in/album-72157669731076195/ Edited March 13, 2019 by saturnapollo Typographical errors 6
Gemini 8 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Great work. I like the natural look that you have captured.
TimB Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Very nice. I like the way the LM has come out. I'm still working on mine - got distracted by the SV. Regards Tim
saturnapollo Posted March 14, 2019 Author Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Thanks very much guys. I'm afraid I have to do one model at a time Tim. You are juggling a whole load there. Now to spend a bit of time on the "real" photos - and there will be a few:) ! cheers, Keith Edited March 14, 2019 by saturnapollo
Caerbannog Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Excellent work as always Keith. Amazing considering the base kit and size... René
MarkSH Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Very nice build and presentation. We need more builds such as this to commemorate an impressive achievement and important anniversary.

saturnapollo Posted March 20, 2019 Author Posted March 20, 2019 Many thanks, Dennis. Finally completed the photography. Certainly got my money's worth out of this model! Too many to list here, but here is the link to the album;https://www.flickr.com/photos/spacemodelsphotography/albums/72157667646196676 Keith
