Edu craft 1:144 LUT

HI fellow paper modelers.I am building Edu crafts 1:144 Apollo LUT. This is my first paper model. I am building a brass version of the LUT and I wanted something to help me visualise how everything goes together. I am very impressed with this kit.It really looks pretty good from a distance.
Anyway here are a couple of pics of my progress so far.

GREAT work!!! Much straighter than mine, I can tell you that. Is the brass version the Insanely detailed, yet insanely expensive LAunch complex one?

Thanks Mohammed!!
I reinforced the levels with cardboard to make them stronger. I actually have been looking at your superb build of this kit to help me with mine!
The brass kit is indeed the Launchcomplexmodels kit.Not only is it insanely detailed, and yes it was insanely expensive, but it also came with no instructions!!! The owner of the company disappeared before he finished the manual so I am trying to figure out how to build it on my own. Bulding the paper model has really helped me a lot. Once I have finisihed the paper model I will be starting the brass kit.

Yes I saw Jans build-very impressive.I am hoping to add the LOX and LH2 valve complexes and lighting to the kit.I will keep a log so hopefully anyone else who has the kit will be able to build it.

You're off to a great start! Too bad that superdetailed photo-etched model isn't available anymore.

The kit hasnt been available for years.He made 100 and I think he delivered them all ( I have number 20). He told us he would put the manual on the website, but after I got my kit he stopped answering emails and never updated the manual.He had grand plan for other launch complexes, but apparently lost interest.My kit has been gathering dust. There are about 40 sheets a4 size of photoetched brass and some resin and plastic parts. The level of detail is amazing, but a lot of the parts (eg the cable trays and support legs) are either out of scale or poorly made, so a lot of scratchbuilding is needed.It also has some of the parts for the piping, but some is missing.
I saw Davids Edu craft LUT on ebay and figured it would give me something to base my brass kit on. So hopefully once I have finished the paper model I will be starting the kit.

progress on LUT

Progress on my LUT build.Added the stairs for the first three levels-very fiddly.Also added equipment boxes and girders.Was quite tedious rolling all the paper tubes for the girders.About 50 hours so far.
