The Real Thing,  At The Moon
The Apollo Lunar Module (LM) was the lander portion of the Apollo spacecraft built for the US Apollo program by Grumman to carry a crew of two from lunar orbit to the surface and back. Six such craft successfully landed on the Moon between 1969–1972.
The LM, consisting of an Ascent stage and Descent stage, was ferried to lunar orbit by its companion Command/Service Module, a separate spacecraft of approximately twice its mass, which took the astronauts home to Earth. After completing its mission, the LM was discarded. In one sense it was the world's first true spacecraft in that it was capable of operation only in outer space, structurally and aerodynamically incapable of flight through the Earth's atmosphere.
Though initially unpopular and plagued with several delays in its development, the LM eventually became the most reliable component of the Apollo/Saturn system, the only one never to suffer any failure that significantly impacted a mission, and in at least one instance (LM-7 Aquarius) greatly exceeded its design requirements by maintaining life support for astronauts after an explosion damaged the Apollo service module. - Wikipedia


PhotobucketO Módulo Lunar Apollo era parte da nave usada no Projeto Apollo. Ele possuía formato de "aranha", e servia para a descida no solo lunar e para o regresso a órbita da Lua para o encontro com os outros dois módulos que lá permaneciam em órbita (Módulo de Comando e Serviço Apollo).
A nave Apollo era muito maior que as naves usadas nos Projeto Mercury e Projeto Gemini. Diferentemente destes projetos anteriores, no Projeto Apollo a nave era constituida de múltiplas partes.
As missões Apollo que pousaram na Lua usando o Módulo Lunar foram: Apollo 11, Apollo 12, Apollo 14, Apollo 15, Apollo 16 e Apollo 17.
A Apollo 13, embora não tenha pousado na Lua devido a um sério acidente, usou o Módulo Lunar como veículo de emergência e os motores do Módulo Lunar como motor reserva, já que os principais estavam avariados. - Wikipedia

In other post, other day, I said that Toni Mauricio`s site was out. I`m wrong, sorry about that. To compensate, today I present here some models of this great Spanish modeler: four ww2 vehicles.

Outro dia, em outro post, eu disse que o site de Toni Mauricio estava down, fora da net. Bem, eu estava errado, e para compensar esta falha, hoje apresento aqui quatro modelos deste grande modelista espanhol.

An Old Colorized Photo Of The Real Thing
For 33 years, Ryounkaku [Cloud surpassing pavilion] towered over Asakusa and the surrounding city. Completed in 1890, built of brick over a wood frame, the twelve-story Ryounkaku stood out among the more typical two-, three- or four-story buildings that were common in Meiji-era Tokyo.
Because of its height, Ryounkaku was known locally as Ju-ni-kai [Twelve-stories]. Its height was of notable achievement. It was the tallest building in the Eastern hemisphere when completed; only some 70-feet shorter in 1890 than the then-world's tallest building, the New York World building. Inside "Twelve-Stories" was Japan's first elevator; the tower was lit on every floor, with an additional row of arc lights perched above the outdoor observation deck. A strong tremor in 1894 weakened the tower, producing a slight lean. In its aftermath, Ryounkaku was reinforced with steel girders. Unfortunately, the reinforced tower was no match for the 1923 Kanto earthquake and the towering landmark was reduced to rubble. - oldtokio.com

The Tower, After Kanto Earthquake

Por 33 anos, o Ryounkaku [Pavilhão sobre as Nuvens] se erguia imponente sobre Asakusa e a cidade em volta. Concluído em 1890, construído com tijolos sobre um esqueleto de madeira, o Ryounkaku, com seus doze andares se destacava entre os típicos prédios de dois, três ou quatro andares que eram mais comuns na era Meiji, em Tóquio.

Devido à sua altura, o Ryounkaku era conhecido localmente como Ju-ni-kai [Doze Pavimentos]. Sua altura era era um grande feito arquitetônico para a época. Foi o edifício mais alto do hemisfério oriental, quando concluído. Era apenas alguns metrosmenor que o maior edifício mais alto até então construído em todo o mundo, o New York World building. Neste edifício foi instalado o primeiro elevador do Japão. Um forte tremor em 1894 enfraqueceu a torre, então ela foi reforçada com vigas de aço. Infelizmente, a torre, mesmo reforçada, não foi páreo para o terremoto de Kanto de 1923 e este marco imponente do Japão foi reduzido a escombros. - oldtokio.com

O Japão, ao invés de se lamentar, aprendeu a lição e hoje exporta tecnologia anti terremotos para o mundo todo.

If I undestand, this cool models are made for RPG games. I think they are the paper version of those old plastic Green Army Men.

Se eu entendi direito, estes modelos são feitos para jogos de RPG. Para mim, eles são a versão em papel daqueles antigos soldadinhos de plástico verde.
