Nice work!

I was nine years old and attending a wedding reception on July 20, 1969. I made my way to the bar in the front of the reception hall so i could watch this on TV.

[TooOld]

Very nicely done , a great looking kit ! 

[unclescott58]

Very nice. Though, the face in that kit reminds me more of astronaut Dave Bowman, than Neil Armstrong. Still, you did a very nice job on the kit.

I love that Copper Coated Log, he is leaning against. I did not know they had trees on the moon.

Oh yea,that's the log from the lunatic maple ??

So, The Lunatic Maple is native to Canada, then?

An invasive species brought  from planet Nibieru by the aliens to terraform the moon so modelers can have a  world all their own ??

Ah.  I understand. Since copper undercoats are needed under some kinds of chrome, they are just helping the "Modeler's Eco-System" to get established. It is all beginning to make sense now. I wonder when we'll see photos of the tiny ' injection molding' bushes. I hear that they can be hard to see until they bloom.
