Udon's LM @ 1/96

It is some week that i started building the Udon's model of the Lunare Module.
Assuming that I'm masochist, I choose to build it at half scale, and at the beginning all things went easily enough.
Here some picture of the first steps.




Then I would like to add some enhancement and I put some golden cover where there was only a texture.




The first difficulties came when I began the communication antenna.
The particular is very small at this scale, and my eyes and my hands aren't as able as they were some time ago.





But the Rendez-vous Radar Antenna was a nightmare, also because I'd like to reproduce the thin supports of the real thing vs the thick original version.






I'm here for now, and i'm not sure how far I can go with this project, but i would share with you my efforts.

More to come and more pics in the web album

Best, Nando
