Last Man on te Moon
Hi to all, I'm back.
I found a nice astronaut model designed by Julius Perdana , recently published on its website. I immediately saw the resemblance to a photograph of Gene Cernan during Apollo 17 mission and I decided to build it. As I proceeded with the construction, I decided to add some details to make the model more similar. Below the photograph of the model compared with the original and an illustration of the additions. I designed the Camera Hasselblad by SketchUp. More pictures can be found on my Web Albums. Enjoy, Nando :D

Sorry for the delay, but I was busy outside ... :o
Thank You Dyna-Soar, but your Astronaut is nice too. And Yes, the NASA meatball was in the right shoulder (see the Cerna portrait) Quote:
Yes, the final result is very satisfactory, and, in my opinion, It well depict the subject Quote:
first of all, put the Astronaut on the moon, i'm using the Ton's instructions about the Moonscape for his Surveyor model (paper machè) Then complete some detail on PLSS. I discovered that on the PLSS of Cernan there was some interesting detail (see the picture I found on the capcom espace, l'encyclopédie de l' espace site) And at last to try some technique to brush some powder (not lunar, but grey pastell) on a sample leg for test. If the result will be good I'll do on the model also. I estimated the scale at 1/12 for my camera project, so, if you want to scale down the model to fit with the Udon's LEM (1/48), you have to reduce it to one third. I'll keep You informed. Nando :D

the only thing that separates the CDR suit from the LMP suit is that the LMP suit lacks the red stripes isn't it?

man, i've been looking at your astro a couple of times now, and it looks like a manufactured toy and not done in paper :D
you really managed to get some more life into it, with a little bit of dirt on it, it will even more real, really nice work you've done will you release your enhancements for download? (the camera is just gorgeous)
