Eh, you just got to keep in mind Rocky that some of us don't get on here everyday...I try, but sometimes I'm just too busy...and well, I'd rather be modeling than writing notes on a forum...no offense...lol...:D

It is fun to get on here and see what others are up to though, and over the years I have made some good friends.

Feedback? Looks like a great job on the LEM and the folded-legs modification. Moving parts on paper models requires some kind of hinge. You can fabricate blades for a hinge - requires a wood/wire hinge pin and some careful positioning for attachment. You can also just make a simple strap hinge with a piece of paper/card - score a fold down the middle and glue the sides to the two parts, swings open on the bend.

Rocky, all I can say is that if you are a newbie to this medium, I can't wait to see your builds when you get to be an accomplished builder.

Not hard. Instructions call for bending tubes, just cut them and string them like a neckless. Leave alot of excess thread to set the tension, then when the glue drys; clip it off. (Polyester/cotton; takes glue well and lasts.)
