The Monogram has Landed

As far as the moon is concerned terrain is fairly limited to rocks, craters and endless fields of uninhabited grey dust. As to not confuse the onlooker with a Detroit suburb more distinguishing features are in order.   In its more cosmopolitan locations Allen Shepard opened a par-3 fairway during the Apollo 14 mission and along with several other landing sites scattered around the moon, it can be clearly distinguished from America's rust belt. So making the board attractive with terrain is going to require something more substantial than plastic craters and railroad ballast.     

 

I know 1/48 isn't 32mm but for the sake of budget and availability, close enough. This should add a little color to the board and a plus, Apollo 11 is as popular with contemporary modelers as Leg warmers and sweat bands are with Peloton. EBAY $28 USD

Scale to Scale? 

 These are the Euro Space agency figures from Black Site Studios compared to the Monogram Figures in the box. The legs on the BSS figures are taller and the proportions are finer in detail. I think they are close enough to use on the same board.
