Progress update 2: Rebuilding the Apollo LM in 3D

Jan 8, 2026

Just a quick update: I’ve moved on to the texturing phase. Most of the major surfaces and cockpit elements now have defined materials, and the original labels and legends have been mapped onto the switches, breakers and levers to match the references.

I also colour-coded the fuel, oxidiser, oxygen, helium and water tanks to make their locations easy to read across layers of the model. This makes it easy to trace systems at a glance when toggling structures on/off.

The remaining tasks are a detailed review of the front panel, including most of the labels, and a final adjustment of the materials and roughness, followed by lighting tests. The images below show the current state.
