It has got more air bubbles than a cheapo recast of a Forgeworld resin model. I think I could do better with some kitchen foil and some plaster of Paris.

I prefer the idea of having the Cydonia region of Mars as a model like this, with the controversial Mars face and the pyramids. Or the site where Apollo 11 landed on the Moon, with a LEM model and a tiny Neil Armstrong.
I’d pay money for that.

For all the people claiming that the moon landing was faked and Kubrick was responsible for the production clearly don’t realize that Kubrick was such a stickler for authenticity that he would have insisted that they film on location.

i know far more people maniaced about what SpaceX is doing down in Boca Chica than are flippin’ out over another rover. Its landing process and success, yes, but the rest? after the third picture it was pretty much mission done.
Which apparently has been a thing prior to this item

But do they have it in floor tiles, or interlocking patio stones?
