Gulf Oil Lunar Lander

Back in the 1960's, Gulf Oil released a pre-printed cardpaper lunar
lander model as a promotional item. These things are now kinda hard to
come by. I've put a pristine one up on ebay, still intact and complete
with instructions. This is an original, not a modern reproduction.

....No, but one of these days I'm going to buy one, take it over to
AlphaGraphics, and get it scaled up to 3x size and mass produced.

I'll buy that for a dollar (plus shipping and handling).

Someone at the Lower Hudseon Valley Challenger Center has resized the
Gulf LM to 1/48 scale. In addition, they have created a
Command/Service Module, Boost Protective Cover / Launch Escape System
in 1/48 scale. They have also created a 1/48 scale Saturn V to go with
it.

Here are the URL's to all of the templates to make a paper Saturn V
and Apollo CSM & LM for free:

There are also paper model templates for the Shuttle, Dyna Soar /
Titan I, X-33, X-43, Klingon, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Babylon
5 Ships, Mars Rovers, etc, etc, etc. Take a look at the page.
