Looks great Ron. Excellent and very detailed work. Something to be really proud of. Only comment is to maybe make the lunar surface a bit more matte? - It looks a bit shiny in your pic.

Marge: whoa, quite a collection!

Finished the base and layout the Astronauts and surface equipment. Still have several things to do. The Revell LM and CM are shown to the left just to compare the kits.

I looked at the timeline of the mission to see if there was a point during the EVA that this could have happened. And basically, nope. The only time they would have been standing like this would have been during Nixon's phone call. And the EASEP had not been deployed yet.

Well, it is certainly better that the one I did in 1970! Thank you.

I decided not to show a particular moment and left the kit as it was intended to be finished. The EASEP wouldn't even be this close to the lander anyway.

Here are Neil and Buzz in 1/48 scale with their gold visors. And I molded the trash bag and just need to paint it and the ties.
