Airfix Apollo 11







OMG....finally it is completed, only taken a full year to assemble and paint!

It now sits on my shelf to look at in awe...if it took me that long to build it with plastic, how long did it take back in 1969.

Gosh...I always wanted this Airfix model, I never thought I would ever have one and most of all complete one...paints and all!

It comes to pieces as well...



1st Stage...


2nd Stage...

Fiery Sunset


A cresent Moon and fiery sunset!

Temperature outside about -6 degrees, snow on the ground and earlier this week freezing fog with temperatures down to -12. The sky is crystal clear, beautiful stars and Orion just coming over the Eastern horizon!

Jupiter high in the Southern sky and this morning Venus was stunning in the morning sky...the real Christmas Star!
