Retired Human Biologist. Seeks time machine to return to a periodically fond childhood spacetime, deep in sci-fi flix and EC comics. Models? Rank beginner. Sigh.

I'm a beginner that wants to learn how to build and detail the few serious models I have ... and then move on to others. One is rather simple in terms of completion and details. It is the Spaceship Luna from Destination: Moon, 1950. This model was snagged on eBay about 20 years ago. It is [supposedly] cast from the original molds used in the film. The fuselage is about 3'. The fins are scaled appropriately. It is primed grey. There is no [4th] red crutch, which has generated some controversy, because it appears in some scenes and photos, but not all. Go figure. It is consists of a challenging four pieces. I would like to seal the glue seams, paint the rocket silver-grey and detail the wing landing pods black. I also just acquired the United Planets Cruiser C-57D from Forbidden Planet, 1956. This model C-57D is, of course, the Polar Lights 28" beauty. There also are some smaller sci-fi figures and ships of no great import. Embarassingly ignorant. Help!
