The enthusiasm in this girl's eyes is priceless.

I actually saw Apollo 15 take off in person. That was a breathtaking sight and a memory I will never forget. Just wish we had cameras like we do now.

A space geek, intelligent, and builds I'm in love

I have never seen a video like this of a woman talking passionately about her model spacecraft! I LOVE it. This made my day!

[timcalvin]

What a smart Lady ! I could listen to her all day ! She is very interesting with knowledge and facts ! Plus she's very easy on the eyes !

[iinRez]

The fact that she is so in to sharing her models makes me smile.

Originally, your 1/144 scale Saturn V was a Monogram kit. Revell had a Saturn V in 1/96 scale, with their 1/48 scale model being twice as large. In any case, it's nice to see these old kits back, (I built them when I was about nine, when the actual Moon Landing happened!) Sadly, the models are "Block 1" versions of the Apollo Hardware . . . .

You might also want to look into some of the proposed, hypothetical model kits being reissued, such as the old Revell Convair Space Shuttle Craft, and the classic Revell Moon Ship that will be coming out later this year.

Thanks for posting this, and keep building!

My local pub is called 'The Man On The Moon'. It was opened shortly after the first moon landing. It originally had large photographs of the moon landing inside, but best of all was a tiny lobby - inside that, in a glass case, were models of the complete Saturn Five, with panels removed, so interior parts could be viewed, a large scale LM/CSM, and a large scale LM in the deployed state. I was six in 1969, and, like most kids, was fascinated by the models in the case. The pub sign was a stylised crescent moon, with a spacesuited astronaut, with visored helmet, reclining in it. Oddly, he had a red helmet, as worn by David Scott? in Apollo 9. Sadly, the models, sign and picture vanished when the pub was refurbished in the 1980's. The sign today is a painting of the classic shot of Buzz Aldrin by the LM.

I would also like to apologize for some of the less than appropriate comments people have left. Lets keep it classy for a classy person folks. Lets also give Amy the respect she deserves and show some appreciation for the time and effort she puts into this channel to open our minds to such great knowledge. Thank you Amy. We appreciate you very much for all that you are and do!

I know this is 6 yrs old but you made me a little nostalgic, I had all those Apollo models as a kid back when Apollo was actually going on and I wish I still did

Born in '61, I was eight when Aldrin and Armstrong landed on the moon. The best space toys for me was the Major Matt Mason series. Found a Matt Mason figure at an antique sale a few years back. I also have a GI Joe (a real one from the 60's) astronaut. Now those were inspirational toys!

[smich]

I absolutely love your excitement and enthusiasm! Your love of all things space, and for your various space toys/models, really comes through in this video :-)

[MsShaunaM]

I absolutely love your models! I had these as a child and acted out every flight I could. I remember using a construction paper tube as an Agena target vehicle during the Gemini program. (For the record, my first launch I watched on TV was Gordo Cooper's Mercury Atlas flight, May 15, 1963.)

[samadrid]

I love your models. I built a few when I was a kid. I also had the "moon bus" model from the movie 2001, A Space Odyssey." I am fifty five, so I remember all the Apollo missions. Me and my brother used to play astonauts in the back of our dad's camper. We'd use our windbreaker jackets as moon suits. Space and space travel has always fascinated me.

It makes me smile to see Amy so happy with all her space toy models. I'm sure her loved ones know exactly what to give her for christmas.

[SpectralightPhoto]

Amy, you're like a kid in a candy store with your models. I love you're enthusiasm. Keep up the great videos.

[dabearcub]

The color scheme and furnishings are on point!

[TrikeSquadron]

so fun to see all the models. It is obvious you love them too... fun to watch your face as you take the LEM off the CM and make them fly! Obviously you love them and the topic of your videos! Keep it up! we love vintage space.

Her enthusiasm and pure joy is contagious.
