It took a long time but I finally finished my Apollo 11 metal earth model kit. These are no joke when it comes to difficulty!

Well done, it’s beautiful! Was this your first metal earth kit? Any tips for someone who failed horribly on a previous metal earth kit attempt?

I'm not OP, but I can share what I found myself doing these kits. Angles on manipulated pieces are extremely important. You really need good leverage with some pliers that also have very, very small ends.
