The Apollo 9 Command Module "Gumdrop", with astronauts James A. McDivitt, David R. Scott, and Russell L. Schweickart aboard, splashes down in the Atlantic recovery area to conclude a successful ten-day, Earth orbital mission. Splashdown occurred at 12:00:53 p.m. (EST), March 13, 1969, only 4.5 nautical miles from the prime recovery ship, U.S.S. Guadalcanal.

HMS Apollo (F70) was a Batch 3B Broadbeam Leander-class frigate of the Royal Navy (RN). She was, like the rest of the class, named after a figure of mythology. Apollo was built by Yarrow Shipbuilders of Scotstoun. She was launched on the 15th October 1970 and commissioned on the 28th May 1972 (the penultimate Leander).
Propulsion: 2 x steam turbines developing 30,000 HP providing a top speed of 28 Knots and a range of 4,000 miles at 15 Knots.
Dimensions: 2,500 tonnes (standard load)/2962 tonnes (full load) displacement; 372 ft length; 43 ft beam and 18 ft draught.
Both the Apollo and the Ariadne are easily distinguished from the other Leanders' by their 'witches hat' - fitted to the top of the foremast as a part of the electronic warfare array.
Apollo was intended to be modernised, which would have included the removal of her one 4.5-in twin gun, which would have been replaced by the Exocet anti-ship missile, but the modernisation was cancelled due to the 1981 Defence Review by the minister John Nott. In July 1982, Apollo was sent to patrol the South Atlantic in the aftermath of the Falklands War and returned home in September. In late 1983, Apollo once again returned to the South Atlantic. On this occasion Apollo encountered heavy seas in the South Atlantic that damaged her hull.
In 1988, Apollo's Royal Navy career came to an end when she was decommissioned and subsequently sold to Pakistan, being renamed PNS Zulfiqar.
The arrow has just left Apollo's bow and the effort impressed on his musculature still lingers. His hair, lightly curled, flows in ringlets down his neck and rises gracefully to the summit of his head, which is encircled with the strophium, a band symbolic of gods and kings. His quiver is suspended across his left shoulder. He is entirely nude except for his sandals and a robe (chlamys) clasped at his right shoulder, turned up on his left arm, and thrown back.

This is my build for the FebRovery challenge. Yes, it may not exactly follow the guidelines but I thought it would be fun to build a larger than minifig scale model of the classic Apollo Lunar Rover. Hope you like it!
Here’s Apollo, my third Galaxy inspired Allan repaint and 32nd Allan doll overall in my collection. This Allan came with severe red stains on his face so I’ve been itching to try incorporating it into a custom so he’s sat around for awhile.
I guess I’m frustrated with this custom cuz it’s my first custom where a majority of it is done in chalk pastel, and it’s nearly impossible to get really bright and vibrant colours. I ended up using half a can of msc on this one doll which is ridiculous to me when I can get brighter colours using paint.
But, having a day to cool off and separate the doll from the ideal in my mind, he’s not a bad custom. In fact I’m really proud of how well the pastels blended together and how much more subtle this galaxy print looks.
His eye paint is very 90s inspired and I was hoping to invoke that feeling you get when you see Sailor Moon transform and her entire body is galaxies except for her eyes.

His hand finally through the bloody ALUS,
He will be unable to protect himself by sea,
Between two rivers he will fear the military hand,
The black and angry one will make him repent of it.
Contest of Apollo and Heracles for the tripod. Heracles, bearded, holding up club in right, runs to right with the tripod under his left arm; he looks back at Apollo, beardless, with long hair, who runs after him, grasping a leg of the tripod in each hand. On the right Athene and on left a veiled goddess stand looking on, the latter raising both hands in surprise. Athene places her right hand against the club of Heracles, and has a long bordered chiton and diplois, dotted aegis with large Gorgoneion, a helmet with raised cheek-pieces, and a spear held upright in left. The veiled goddess is dressed in a long chiton and a mantle which passes over the back of her head; it is difficult to decide whether she raises her left hand with the fingers spread out, or whether she holds a torch in her left hand, the drawing being very defective here.
The Myth.
Apollo's half-brother Heracles once visited Delphi, to ask the Oracle how he might be cured of the disease that had afflicted him since his murder of Iphitus. The Pythia refused to answer, so Heracles seized the sacred tripod and threatened to set up an oracle of his own. Apollo tried to wrest the tripod from him (a favourite scene in ancient art), and peace was restored only after Zeus hurled a thunderbolt between his two sons.

Read about Apollo and his big brother at www.zoomuchinformation.com I have been keeping this blog about the kids since shortly after they were born in 2012.
Here is a replica of the Apollo Launch Control Room at Kennedy Space Center, Florida. All those consoles were the ones actually used for the Apollo missions.
My little boy got lost in the forest... Luckily he had his teddy bear with him...

An old photo of my only boy at the moment... He is Hugo and in this picture he is still pretty much in stock condition, but I have already made some alterations to him... In the upcoming pictures he will be much more personal than now...
