I'm pleased to hear that the Canadian Aerospace industry is extending into deep space!
I finally finished this.
First, I printed around 160 or so 1/350 astronauts, since I had many handicapped guys in my first batch from 2019:
I only ended up using 6.
They needed a place to work, so I made a lunar base out of some foamboard. I tried a realistic lunar color (dark black-brown)
but it didn't look good, so I added a layer of gray with some brown. I darkened the areas with traffic and exhaust as well:
You can almost make out the three figures in the control room at the top of the sphere.
Something happened to the wiring for the lights, so after all that effort, I decided to skip them.
Some closeups of the surface traffic:
No small craters, because you don't want to land in one and not many surface rocks, since small pebbles and dirt clods would have been swept away by repeated rocket blasts or by crews prepping the landing area. There's a supervisor on the M19 deck and all the crews have colored armbands to indicate their vehicle - but they're not really visible in these pics.
Thanks for following along and making suggestions!
I have one other "zombie" magazine cover build and two other spaceship models to finish.
