If you have a 3-D printer, you can make any small plastic object you can imagine, or whose designs you can download. If you don't have a 3-D printer, the folks at Shapeways will be pleased to take your money, print out the thing you want, and send it to you. Enter Max Grueter, a Shapeways vendor, who makes astronauts. He'll sell you a set of nine spacemen in Destination Moon suits. That's enough crew for two Lunas, with one left over! : $36.00 : $24.50 : $16.00 This is pretty wonderful. Mr. Grueter can also manufacture other astronauts: Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, 2001, Vostok, Orlan, etc. Browse his site! |

Nice find, beamjockey! For folks interested in modeling the whole set in various scales, Pegasus Models makes the Destination Moon rocket ship Luna in 1:144 scale. Here's a review of the kit: It's available on amazon.com for about $27. Fantastic Plastic also kitted two versions of the Luna, in 1:288 and 1:48 scales. That latter scale would be HUGE: over 3 feet tall! I don't believe they're in production anymore. Maybe they could be found on eBay. With lots of stills from the Destination Moon movie, plus modeling plaster, one could make a nifty and accurate scale model diorama. I'm seriously tempted . . . |

Not wanting to rain on that parade, it does make me wonder about copyright... |
