Bubbajoe Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 In 1969 I remember sitting in front of the TV, spending hours watching the apollo mission and the first landing on the moon. I'm choosing the landing module by revell as my entry for the group build. thanks for the encouraging words to join ,i appreciate it very much.

Guest PetrolGator Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Added. I think I've added everyone so far. If you want to start work, feel free. I also extended the "deadline" to April 1st in case someone needs more time. I'll be a little late to the party. I'm not gonna start the Oklahoma until Bogue is off my desk.

Mark Aldrich Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Here is the kit I am starting with and this is how it turned out for the review. I will be doing the camo bird on the box art this time around. I will be using a metal pitot tube, a resin nose and adding two nuclear Falcons on the center racks.

GaryDavis Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) Count me in also...It sounds like I might be able to make this one. I'm in the middle of a build right now but...after that is finished...I need to build my Uncles #2 33 ford sedan(dirt Race car...or...Hardtop...as they were called back then). I probably won't start for another month easy. But...with the finish date pushed farther out....that will work just right. Do we post build pics( wips) in this forum or in their perspective categories ?? Edited October 15, 2014 by GaryDavis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Aldrich Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Really nice! I actually sprayed the gloss in the Deuce so I can add the decal instrument and give the cockpit and nose well a wash and then close it up at the next build night.

Bubbajoe Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) finished the apollo lunar module for the group build. My apologies for not posting in progress pics, i hate posting photos and all the steps you have to take just to place a few photos. here are a few photos i took while building and the final. the base is a painted plastic plate. the moon surface is a plaster disc i molded from stove top stuffing mix(don't tell my wife she still is asking what happened to it) the gold foil is from a candy wrapper, actually 2 , it painstakingly peeled the gold foil off the wax paper . i added windows( plastic tupperware lid) and made a hatch out of some extra styrene . it had openings cut out but no windows and just looked odd without it. i honestly was thinking i was purchasing the 1:48 model and was surprised when this very small package arrived from amazon. i was looking at so many models and mixed up the 1:100 with the larger version.i think it came out pretty good. i looked all over the net for 1:100 astronauts but to no avail. i printed the flag and used a pin for the pole.

Mark Deliduka Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Very nicely done! I hope you don't mind me using these as a reference for mine. I have a 1/72 scale one to build and place inside my Saturn V Rocket. Your pics will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your pics will help. thank you and by all means. i did a bit of research on the eagle and tried to get as close as possible with the details .working in 1:100 is difficult to get it all just right. there is so much info and images to reference your build. good luck with yours and look forward to seeing some photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Sounds good. I appreciate that. I do have a couple friends in my IPMS club that have offered to help me gold leaf my LEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VonL Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Thanx for the kind words, fellaz. Here she is, so far. Am also playing with a 'special effect' for scary-looking, sub-surface ice, as you can see on the far side of the base. Eastwind will not be breaking ice in hard-core fashion, so much as picking her way through a field of ice floes: Recipient will be a guy who was a Gunner's Mate on this one, c.1957. Very dynamic reconfiguration schedule for this ship in the 1950's, so I just did my best there. Several semi-scratch items including the twin guns and cranes forward. The helo was carefully re-done and the PE really helps it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Bell Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 You've done an excellent job on this old classic kit. If I can make one suggestion. Try using the "adjust" or "edit" or whatever it's called function where you have your photos stored to lighten them up so we can see all that great work you've done.

Guest PetrolGator Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I feel like I've been neglecting this topic (and Admining in general, but that's gonna change) so I've changed my subject build once I read how utterly PUNISHED the San Francisco was during the war, even excluding Guadalcanal. That cruiser was in damn near every major engagement. It's a pity she wasn't preserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Aldrich Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 I got the fuselage halves together. Life has stepped in and I am doing a free commission piece of a King Tut Wall hanging that was taken priority. Plus I am still trying to finish my M-12 "What If".
