First Lunar Landing - 55 Years ago

[TooOld]

I built this Monogram kit five years ago to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing and would like to share it again today .

You can clearly see in this photo the interior lighting added to the module .

Wow, that is extremely well done!

Indeed, very well done. I look at that model and am in awe of the courage and faith of those two astronauts. It had to be in the back of their minds, "Will this contraption get us off here and back to the main module?" Thanks for posting it.

Great job! Very well done.

Very nicely done! Love this model, and your display is a wonderful tribute. Good detail work here really brought it to life.

Thanks Rick !  Back then all of the astronauts were military officers and test pilots , they never thought about it  . . . it was their job .

This is great looking! Well done. I still remember sitting in my friends basement watching the landing. You brought back a nice memory.

There is the evidence that the Moon Landing was fake. ? Very nice build.
