Title: Apollo 11, Eagle Lander, Kubrick's film set....
Post by: Will Levesley on July 29, 2026, 12:37:36 AM

Something a little different made for a club competition titled Myths, Legends and Fairytales!  Airfix's 1/72 Eagle lander and a film crew!  Got the foil effect using tissue paper, PVA glue and paint.  Turns out the Eagle lander is not black and white (like Airfix says) but actually aluminium with a hint of green.  Quite good fun to make and went together quite well!  Added a few extra metal struts to support the lander.  Most enjoyable part was painting the backdrop to look like a 1960's sci-fi version of the moon.
