Beautiful models and photography! The outdoor scenes of the Apollo 12 stack and the Apollo 13 recovery are wonderful. |

The Apollo 12 Saturn V is amazing. If the base with the patches were not at the bottom, I would have thought it was a photograph of the real thing. |

All are terrific. Would love to have the tower to go along with my Saturn V. On "Old 66", the recovery helicopter, what am I seeing on the tail rotor. I would swear it is rotating. |

Thanks guys. I want to be able to show the steps to the moon by Apollo missions through models. The Apollo 12 MLP/LUT took me over 10 years to build. Ron, the "OLD 66" tail rotor blades on the Apollo 13 diorama, are brass, from a company called Prop Blur. I love the Reheat resin models I used for Apollo 11 and 14, but cant find any more kits out there. The 1/6 Buzz will be joined by the 1/6 Gene Cernan very soon. My biggest dilemma is finding NASA meatballs and U.S. flags for my astronauts. |

I have completed my 3D Lunar Rover I purchased from Ron Shinkle (moonguyron). it's a brilliant model with a lot of detail already. Some of the struts had to be replaced, as the heat of Darwin nearly ended it. Safe now in new home of Melbourne. I'm very proud of the end result. Hope you like. Please let me know of anything I can fix, alter or improve.
