TimT64 178 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 This is my first, and to date, only model i have completed after a 10 year plus layoff. It took three years, a little longer than anticipated, but thoroughly enjoyed the build, as well as the research that went along with it. The Lunar module is a 3D printed model from Vincent Meens, the Command & Service Module is a Revell kit. The LM is largely out of the box, with the exception of a scratchbuilt interior. The CSM was built with the addition of a New ware detail set, a few 3D printed items that i designed and had printed, some photo etch items i designed and had manufactured, also a couple of 3d printed goodies from other designers well. Somewhere along the line i decided to include lights, so the combo has a full set of functioning lights that are controlled from an Apollo style switch panel. 33 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Eric, I forgot to mention the scale, it is 1-32nd. Not for a museum, might see if our local library would be interested in having it 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Eric Mc 2,576 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 It looks like a very professional build - which is why I asked. It looks fantastic. I've always wanted to do an Apollo 9 scenario as the LM looked a bit different. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

TimB 274 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Wow, I had to double check a couple of photos that looked very like some of mine from visits to NASM! That is superb, especially the LM foiling. Well done again. Tim 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Kallisti 7,502 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Wow that looks incredible! I assume you used a lot of aluminium tape and foil in the build, the surface finish looks spectacular! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
