Ian,
Great work and what an excuse to eat sweeties.

That's very 'sweet' wrapped Ian, some nice progress on the module :thumb2: Hope you'll beat the Russians.
Cheers,
Steven

Great addition of the foil Ian. Looking great. I know how small the LM is. Glad your getting over your flu.

Looking very bling Ian ! Keep on taking the medicine ( quality street) you want to shake off the man flu before Cosford :face-with-head-bandage::thumb2:

Ian

Apologies completely missed this. Looking very good indeed so far and great justification for getting some Quality Street too!

Looking great Ian!!! I imagine regular crumpled up tin foil would have been too big in scale, but the candy wrapper is spot on. Hope you are feeling better and singing that old song while your working at the bench, "Fly Me To The Moon"...…...………...

Prost

Thanks guys I’m feeling a lot better now, just about finished my course of antibiotics.

Wow, this really does take me back to being a kid, as mentioned before on this thread. For some strange reason the mose cone hits home, I think it got broken when being a kid I also played with it when made, I must have made this when I was about 10 i think, that would be 1975 in nice sunny North Carolina. But i diverse, it's all looking good, well done.

 

[Bobby Conkers]

Loving that foil, looks so authentic.

 

[papa 695]

I’m now trying to make this.

This is how it’s looking at the moment. I’m now awaiting for some lead wire for the wiring.

Because I’m building this for the school I work for, I’m going to display it on its side, so the year 6 children can see all the sections.
But it’s a great idea to do it on the launch pad or crawler maybe another day.

I'm sure the kids will appreciate your efforts Ian, we are certainly enjoying them here. Rick H.
