I will make a separate video on how I made the Luna landscape.

Wonderful build! Looks amazing and you did such a great job with painting and weathering, very nice! Just finished the 1:72 Eagle Transporter a few weeks ago and what a fun challenging model. I don't possess the same skills as you and your build is an inspiration for sure. Looking forward to watching your next model build! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@TheScaleModeler]

Thank you for kind words- certainly a tricky build but satisfying just the same. Hope it helps people going forward. Thanks for feeding back 👍

This takes me back to the 70’s, walking into a hobby shop and buying the eagle, hawk and moon base alpha kits. Thank you for the memories

[@TheScaleModeler]

You’re welcome that’s pretty much the reason I made it 👍

[@davidkoenig8592]

Out of all the models I would wish to build, it is this one. I'll just live and fantasize that through this excellent instructive video. Very nice work.

[@TheScaleModeler]

I hope you manage it, just beware when cutting off the sprue- I wish had had used a saw. If you haven’t already watch the unboxing as I made that video post build and have shared my thoughts and insights into it. It has turned out really well though and looks great 👍

Love watching these builds, very relaxing and theraputic.
But that's some gnarly-looking ingrown thumbnail you've got there, friend. I could almost feel your discomfort, hope it's feeling better by the time the paint dries!

[@TheScaleModeler]

Apologies for that . I work with gypsum powder and it rips moisture out of my hands.

Amazing video. What do you use for gloss coat

As someone who can't even make a bed, I'm fascinated to see the liquid cement goes on afterwards and not as the meat in the sandwich, as it were. I've always been too intimidated to make an Eagle kit. I've not even made a basic kit. Don't know where to start as a complete beginner. What could possibly go wrong? 🚀💥👨‍🚀

[@TheScaleModeler]

Thanks for feeding back. Start simple and work upwards 👍
