Alright!  8)

When you move, you move like the 3rd stage of a Saturn V, don't you?  ;)

I'll be going for a modular approach myself, with a flat board and templated/based features, for flexibility, but those craters are going to look fab!

I am a bit concerned about the miniatures standing on my planned surface and it makes possible future structures tricky, but I'll give it a shot. The flat modular board is much more flexible.

First completed Soviet Cosmonaut done to test the colour scheme. Not absolutely delighted, but it will work for the game, I think. Decals to be added later.

Excellent!

That'll work just fine  8)

The background is great btw!
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

The figure second from the left in the back, the one walking with the gun. Did you have to do any cleanup on him? The reason I ask is that my version is showing quite a bit of mould slippage, with a glaring crack on the front of his visor. His back left heel isn't aligned either and there's a huge seam down his backpack. The pointing arm on the back left figure has similar issues.

Should I be looking for a replacement, or have others had issues. Those are the only two problems, but I don't know if it's common, or if I just got "lucky" :(

The six figures with the starter set all needed some flash removing and there were some nasty lines, but nothing as bad as you describe. There were no issues with the back packs or visors, all clean. The four figures with the other set were resin cast and had no problems at all.

Thanks for the confirmation. I'll drop them a line and see what they say. For reference



and



which seems more than I should be expected to fix. The visor, especially, would be really tricky.

Agreed, the visor is the focal point of the model.

I cut my 2' x 2' MDF board today and am starting to move stuff around on it.

Great progress! I have to admit, I was intrigued by the Lunar idea, too. However, with so many projects in the works, I have remained grounded here on Earth. For now...  lol

Looks like this will be spectacular!

Cheers, Mike. One of the things that attracted me to this was, it's just make a 2' x 2' board and paint ten minis. Then you can play. However, no doubt, it's going to get bigger!

Craters and a hill glued down. Plaster and lava rocks next.

Well, I must say, when you decide to do something, you do it!   8) 

Nice progress so far!
