I think once the main legs go on it will become more rigid, the thin metal bits you can see are supports for the main legs. The whole thing is tiny it doesn’t really show that in the pictures, completed it’s about 2.5”*2.5”*2” high.

Wow, you must have endless patience Horacewimp, the cars are awesome enough but the lunar module is spectacularly fiddly looking, nice work!

I took the pictures in the garden hence some of the coloured reflections in the metal.

The Eagle is BEAUTIFUL! The color reflection is a nice touch. Lots of detail. Finding something new to see every time I look at it. What a funky looking thing.

Horacewimp , have you ever been to the Air & Space Museum in Washington? They have so much gear to display that they built another place in Northern Virginia. The lunar module is a highlight.

Absolutely fab, I love it! As my esteemed ninja twin BSJ has pointed out it's hugely detailed and just makes you want to stare, taking in all the elements. And it's so tiny too, blimmin' well done you!

I've just acquired these two.... As a collector of strange things I'm going to keep the Motorhead model boxed and sealed. The Tour Truck must (according to my daughter) be made!! View Attachment View AttachmentI've got a small Airfix Spitfire plane and a huge Airfix Endevour ship to to make than I've had for years. I really want the Queen truck.

The Air & Space Museum in DC is one of my favourite museums and I'm lucky enough to have also visited their second museum. I've dug out a (not brilliant quality) photo from my visit 15 years ago that may appeal to you seemingly many OMD fans.... Attachment Deleted

It's lovely, nice work Horacewimp. Love its benign sort of cow-like face
