Going from strength to strength, a continually great project! 🚀

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.

A good find!

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.

A revival of the Thread! (tepid applause...)
Been working to improve some Photo Quality for my Lunar Project, finish a few teams of Astronauts and with any luck have a post from the CCCP soon. But First the NASA team is complete. 23 personnel finished.

I see the riot squad is here to maintain disorder.

Wow! Great blog and love all the pictures and the tongue-in-cheek commentary on the NASA group there on the moon.
