Apollo 11


Recommended Posts

This is Airfix kit I built 2 years ago as first effort on return to modelling after 'children break', inspired by the 40th Anniversary TV programs and a trip to Leicester Space Centre.

Kit instructions from 1990s release were rubbish as a painting reference, found some excellent resources on the internet though

Painted with 'craft' acrylics; gold foil from Rollos (a lot of reasearch went into finding the right confectionary to provide the foil ....)

Hope you enjoy

You've done a good job with that one.

P.S. Caramac foil is also a good match, and the contents are reet tasty!

I think the one I tried had paper backing so I couldn't think of a way of using it

The Caramac was nicer than the Rollos though .....

Need to re-test I think in case I build another

"I've got 5p, what can you buy with 5p, it buys a Caramac bar!"

Not these days I bet!

Great build, I picked up a revell 1:100 scale one of these so might have to buy some rollos as well!
