Beany's Revell 1/48 Apollo Lunar Module

[beany]

After last years obviously drug inspired, hippy-dippy, psychedelic choice of subject by my Secret Santa across the pond, I was rather relieved to see a good old British post mark on receipt of my package this year. My wife immediately took it from me though so I genuinely don't know who it is from!
Here is a picture of last year's build (great fun!) welcoming this year's new arrival...



I am actually working away from home over Christmas but will be taking this gift to unwrap in my hotel room on Christmas morning as soon as I get in from what will no doubt be a grueling 12 hour night shift - the things we do for money eh?!

Cheers
Al.

[Ian]

I feel for you, Al. This is my first Christmas Day not working for several years so I know what it's like.

[BlohmWolf]

Fiber-optic trees!


Also, that's a fabulous looking model.

[Sissel]

Good grief that's a colorful bird!! Looks good.
Reminds me of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's flower car.

Love the Ferrero Rocher prezzie.

[Ian]

Love the Ferrero Rocher prezzie.

You've gone and spoiled the surprise now, Sissel!

[PaulBradley]

Funkalicious, Al!

[beany]

I'm back home from working away now, and here is my gift, with which I am delighted!!!. My Secret Santa knows me well obviously, and in the absence of a Revell 1/48 Ocean Of Storms kit (the Apollo 12 landing site where Commander Alan Bean was the 4th man to walk on the moon) then this Revell 1/48 Tranquility Base (Apollo 11) kit will do very nicely



I'll take sprue shots and progress shots when I make a start on her later today.

Many thanks Secret Santa

Cheers
Al.

[ShaunW]

That will be excellent I'm sure, no wonder you look pleased

[Chris]

Wow, haven't seen that kit in at least 30 years, I think I built it twice badly!

[Narayan]

Nice one Al, look forward to seeing this.

Obligatory box and contents shots...



Nice lunar base included




Chris's "... haven't seen that kit in 30 odd years" would be in keeping with the date moulded in here and on the decal sheet


Neil and Buzz also supplied








Cheers
Al

Will be interesting to watch this. I have one in the stash. Looking forward to seeing your build Al mate.

All the best.

Nice pressie Al! I'm jealous!

Looking forward to your build. I don't have one in the stash, but may have to fix that at some time in the future!

[Chris]

That kit actually dates from 1968. before he landing!

Hey Al,

Made any progress?

Martin
