Metal Earth Apollo Lunar Module 3D Metal Model Kit becomes a compact etched-steel lunar lander, joined with tabs and holes rather than glue or solder.
Why it is listed here
The maker rates this kit moderate, a step up from easy one-sheet models, with two sheets of parts for the lander’s angular body. At about 2.3 in on each side it is a small, boxy model that fits on a desk or alongside other space builds. It pairs naturally with the Voyager Spacecraft or Space Shuttle kits for a small NASA-themed shelf.
What the build involves
Use tweezers, as the maker recommends, for bending and twisting the small tabs, and needle-nose pliers for longer folds. Twist each tab once only, because steel tabs weaken if they are bent back and forth. Work slowly on the folded panels so the lander keeps its crisp shape, and dust it with a soft brush once it is on display.
