Dear all

So I have now been able to make a start on the model(s) again (though time is a little scare a the moment so progress will be slow).

I decided to continue by making the 1/24 LM. However I first made a rough partial 1/48 LM to get the feel how it all went together. Here is a photo of that partial model (I printed it in only in black and white).

The for the 1/24 LM I looked an the several versions that are "out there" but in the end I felt the one most suited was the one that comes with the main download. (The other one I was very interested in has a very "photo realistic" gold mylar covering).

Some of the parts are very big and have to be split when enlarging for the 1/24 LM. This is so for the main base part which is shown here cut out

And then joined and folded

Next are the other arms of the leg structure (if you know what I mean)

And finally the underneath of the base

I know I have only just started the 1/24 LM but already it feels a really nice model in its own right. The enlarged "graphics" look great. I know it is early days but if you like the LM then I would say have a go at a 1/24 scale version.
