Apollo Lunar Module Papercraft

The Apollo Lunar Module (LM) was designed to transport two astronauts from Lunar orbit to the lunar surface and back again. Apollo 11, launched on 16 July 1969, would be the first landing mission. LM-5, piloted by Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, landed successfully on the Lunar surface on 20 July 1969. (Source: historicspacecraft)

Here is a downloadable Apollo Lunar Module Papercraft including the instruction. The small parts are kind of difficult but the result is worth the effort.
