Great shot, must have taken ages to cut out the crater bits off the base.
Balakov (49 months ago | reply)
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!

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

@-Gareth- : I really couldn't say. It was in a small space set I got around 5 or 6 years ago.
