Metal Earth Apollo 11 Astronaut 3D Metal Model Kit (Premium Series) builds an Apollo 11 astronaut figure in etched steel, a standing space-suited figure for a desk or shelf.

Why it is listed here

A human figure is harder to shape in steel than a vehicle, and the listing rates this one challenging, so it suits builders who have a few metal kits behind them. It uses 75 pieces on 2.5 sheets and finishes on a compact 3 in square footprint. Next to the rocket and telescope kits, it adds a figure to a space-themed shelf.

What the build involves

Tweezers plus needle-nose pliers help with the rounded helmet and suit parts; curve them gradually before connecting tabs. Twist each tab once and avoid reworking it, since steel tabs can snap after repeated bending. The 3 in footprint fits most desks, and a small display case keeps dust off the suit details.
