T O P I C R E V I E WilbassoThis isn't mine, but a friend thought of me when she saw it and forwarded the link to me.This lucky kid has a very creative father! Can you imagine having something like this to play with?My son's spaceshipApollo14LMPThat is simply amazing! I hope they have included a blue "Lunar Contact" light on the panel?GACspaceguyI wonder if they would like to adopt a new 55 year old son?TykeanautI think his father will be getting some fun with that too! Excellent work.apolloprojecktVery, very great! Every kid wish such handy father.the clocks runningVery Cool!randyI'm up for adoption too!RonpurAmazing! My LM was built of cardboard and under a card table when I was 5!p51My Dad was given several panels from a Redstone tracking trailer that had been donated to the local CAP unit and their CO was a friends of my Dad's. My brother and I put the panels in our 'treehouse' (a well-built structure standing up on 4 8X8 beams that really looked like a guard tower in a WW2 prison camp movie). That made for a great space capsule, imagining it sitting on pad 39A (like a few hour's drive south of where I grew up). It even had buttons marked, "millile tracking" and azimuth dials that I didn't understand their purpose. Oh, how I wish I had saved parts of these panels, they'd probably be worth something today. All that said, I was deeply impressed with this thing the man built for his son. Had my wife and I been able to have the kids we'd planned for but never happened, I surely would have built something like this for any kid of mine who might want it...
