Dear all

So I have managed to find a bit more time to progress the 1/24 LM. The next part I worked on was the "central" part of the ascent stage. Here is the main piece glued and also the cover for the fuel tank for the ascent engine

I found it useful leaving the "bottom flap" of the main piece unglued for when it came to forming all the ascent stage of the LM.

For those curious here is a NASA drawing of the LM

and the NASA page it came from which contains lots of other drawings

Next came the forward part of the ascent stage (which is in 3 parts, middle and left and right side). Here is the middle cut out and folded

And then glued. I have shown a number of these since this folding is not entirely clear on the instructions (as mentioned in the previous post)

Then came the left and right sides and their attachment to the middle part.

Finally for the front I did the RCS quad engines and radar.

Gunter and Wernher show it is quite small really

Not much more to go now to finish the LM
