The Moonship has Landed

 My home made Moonship is done. It's the one at the back. Century 21 Toys original at the front.

Reunited with my bits box I was able to finish the plane I bought in Germany.


Not perfect by a lunar mile but it'll do.

The home ship has sound effects too. It just needs a flag. But which?

  1. That's very good. You could put the Project Apollo badge on it?

    1. Much obliged Ed. It has gone in my cabinet for me to look at for a couple of days.

  3. Nice work, Woodsy! Not a complete duplicate, but slightly "off model" in the charming style of all 60's toys!
    If you invest in an airbrush, you could spray Tamiya Clear Red on your silver tail cone and it would be a complete match for the C21 original!

    1. Thanks Looey. I've a couple of these Moonships and they all seem to have recycled or marbled plastic tail cones painted silver.

  4. A worthy effort Woodsy.
    You've definitely caught the spirit of the original.

    Well done. That is a really first class model. I am sure only an expert could tell which is the original, and which is your modern build.

  10. Very nicely done. How about a Moonrise Central logo as it's an original?
