Hi Guys
This is the 3rd Chapter of my personal Space Saga.
Even though I am a big fan of Mr. Heinlein's work, the title has nothing to do with his book :)
I just happen to like the title, and it happens to be true.
So this time I will try to represent, to the best of my modelling skills, the Apollo 11 LEM landed on the Moon.
No "what-ifs" involved. Sorry guys. Just a humble homage to the guys that did, it almost 50 years ago.
The kit I will be using is the good old Airfix one, from 1970.
And my bible for this small, yet very interesting and challenging project, is the book "Moonfire", by Norman Mailer,
here in the Portuguese version:
Enough of nostalgia, and let's get down to work :)
I will be using the kit base, so I made a suitable support/raiser:
Sorting out all the pieces and preparing them will be the next step (the most boring one :) ).
From what I have seen so far, the biggest challenge will be to emulate the different textures and surfaces.
So now is time to study all the photos and all the details I can find.
Thanks for watching!
