Helo, I went to Speyer, Germany, to the museum. There, the Buran is shown and a collection of space suits and flown parts. They also show there a Lunar Module. Unfortunately, a dummy out of a movie. My problem is not solved. Does anyone have detailed pictures of the latches of the landing legs...

Sorry no update, I can not find time to move on. My job challenges me totally. Regards Michael

@ouizel I use different sources. The challenge isto manage the variants betwen the unequal sources @Zathros Yes bananas are very yummy Saludos cordiales Michael

The cold front is here. But only for two days. The forecast says that we get 39°C (102°F) at the weekend. But the high humidity is more terrible than the heat. We have one weather extrem after the next this year. First more than alot snow, a long and a strong winter. Then high water and now the...

Hello friends, I had stopped working on the LM, because the tropical heat in Germany. The clue dries to fast. But I have completed the collecting of the different construction materials. I will start with the construction of the ascent stage next. For workable hinges of the descent stages...

Hi, I am back. But I stopped building for a few weeks. I am waiting for new paper and other materials like capton foil. The drawings for the ascent stage are in progress. Maybe I will build the cabin structure from polystyrol sheets. I think that then the form becomes smoother. We have here in...

Dear Readers, I am pleased that you enjoy it all. This is an incentive to make more. Michael

Some more pictures of the Outrigger Strut. I had used a pencil sharpener for the upper end. The other end was built with a wooden ball. Fur the main strut I had used a wooden stick (diameter 8mm). The main strut was covered with tubes made from paper with 80g/m². The inner diameter is 8mm and...

Pads Ok, working on the LM went ahead. I'm going to draw the other parts of the computer. Here are the pictures of the pads. These must be re-drawn on the computer, so that the segments are long enough. They are a bit too short straight, so I had to extend it. I ordered black tissue paper for...

@ Zathros I think the landing gear is the complicated part of the descend stage. Michael

Hi Mike, the model´s scale is 1:12. I planned to build the interior of the ascend stage. No the landing gear isn´t hinged. But maybe I will build a second one in the future with a detailed descend stage interior and movable hinges. I have not planned a publication as a kit. Many parts caused...

The pads The next step is the construction of the pads. That will be a little bit tricky but not impossible. And that´s all for the moment from the LM assembly facility in Germany. Michael

Because the weight of the hole construction I decide me to use 8 mm wood sticks for the core of the main strut.

Outrigger truss The Outrigger truss is made from normal paper with a weight of 80 gr/m². The tubes are wound around a core of 3 mm. After the tubes were dried, the core was removed. For connecting the truss with the mainstructure of the descent stage I use parts of 3mm wood sticks as a bolt...

The Cross will made from Bristol with a weight of 300 gr/m². I don´t build the tanks in the descent stage or any other details from inside.
