Salute to Buzz and Neal

From Apollo and Soyuz, to Gerry Anderson, Irwin Allen, Star Wars and Trek to Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica and those strange, doe-eyed Japanese school girls...to any model kits you can think of, that only exists in imagination.

Salute to Buzz and Neal

Post by jssel »

A salute to Buzz and Neal. 54 years ago. 1/32 scale figures from the Monogram Lunar Lander kit. Base is made
from a peanut butter jar lid with Cel-U-Clay
surface.

Visors covered with gold foil. Lunar dust on suit from a dark gray wash.
