Great shot, must have taken ages to cut out the crater bits off the base.

The crater has been broken for years, no work required :)

Adding sand wouldn't have been "LEGOish", I suppose :-D

Great job again Balakov!

I wonder if you could somehow recreate the reflections in Buzz's visor from the original photo. Might take some fancy photoshopping, but very good work!

brek says:

this is sooo obviously faked, if you look in the reflections of the visor, the shadows point the wrong way, and don't get me started on the flag. ;-)

NASA could have use this for their "moon exploration" mission.
As 'fake' as the real pic... but this one is "light years" cutter... hehehehe
