It is fantastic, I want to find some matchbox lunar vehicles and the 1/72 figs from breakfast cereal packs now and do it in 20mm!

Cheers

@ Blue Willow:
They are not Lunar related but I picked up the Hot Wheels "Perseverance" and "Sojourner" packs on Ebay, both were under $11 usd. They would be better to scale with 20mm plastics you mentioned than the 32mm figures I'm using.I'm going to use them anyway as objective markers and terrain.

After finding that the basic game would cost over £80 l have just ordered a box of Airfix astronauts myself, l think that the Lunar Lander set comes with the figures in a hard white plastic, much easier to do conversions with than the soft poly plastic.

It is too bad the postage and taxes push the cost up so much, although l have a cousin in Florida who might be useful, especially as we are meeting up next year.

Hey I did that! Amera plastics do some really nice craters or you can buy moonscape
My project stalled after I bought some bits. Might have to revisit at some point

Thanks for the Amera tip, l might pick up some Crooked Dice astronauts at Warfare, no need to convert them but l would then need to source moon buggies.
