Over the years I've had several of these handmade toys/displays (see pics below) and every time I get rid of one I tell myself, "No more."...
...until the next time LOL
Welllll, I did it again. This time it was a hand made Apollo V Rocket with launch pad. Overall a nice addition to the space collection. It measures 16 5/8" (42.22cm) H overall and the base of the launch pad measures 6 1/2" (16.51cm) D x 5" (12.7cm) W. The workmanship on these things are crude by design in that they're s'posed to look like they were cobbled together from bits and pieces in somebody's workshop. But in the end, those 'bits and pieces' come together to form nicely done representations of the machines they're supposed to look like. This isn't 'high art' so don't expect it to be. They are, generally speaking, relatively inexpensive display pieces to give the den or office that little unique touch. Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina
Here it is alongside the Processed Plastic rocket posted just the other day.
Nothing moves on this piece. Everything is soldered together solidly.
One word of caution: it is a bear to dust and clean :-)
