Announcing the Apollo Lunar Module Historical Site. This Moonbase Module was built to honor the first astronauts to land on the moon. There is an observation deck that overlooks one of the Apollo Lunar Modules (LM) at it's original landing site. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=23654 a couple of teaser pics: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/bitaur/ALMHS/lmhs01.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/bitaur/ALMHS/lmhs02.jpg Well, with a few lunar module descent stages (and lunar rovers, golf clubs etc.) left behind on the moon from the Apollo missions I figure that there would be some kind of museum-type historical site devoted to showcasing one of the original landing sites. I've got some more pieces on order to finish off my LM proper, but I decided to go ahead and post now. The 4x4 dishes for the landing feet are a little large but I like them better than any other idea I had to make them. I also have plans to build the ascent stage of the LM to connect with the descent stage. It will not be part of my moonbase module, however. LMKWYT Thanks, Todd Trotter

(...) all the other great modules out there!) Of course, being a fan of the Golden Age of Spaceflight, I'm a bit biased toward a scene like this, but it's the excellent modelling that really makes this one shine. (...) Perhaps not as much fiction as (...) (22 years ago, 20-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Well, I noticed earlier that my support struts were only three studs away from the edge on my baseplate, so I've quickly revised them. They now are in compliance with the standard. : ) Todd Trotter (22 years ago, 21-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) I just had to post a reply to this. I must say I love it, it looks so historical monumentish :) I live only 15 minutes away from the Johnson Space center in Houston, and my father worked extensively on the Appollo missions. He was head of the (...) (22 years ago, 25-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)
