Idea for the footprints: use sprue or a very small wooden dowel to make "left" and "right" feet stamps, then use wet sculptamold in tiny clumps, with the stamps pressed into them.

That's a good idea. Thank you Pengbuzz!

Don’t let them sell you a time-share…

Hey Pengbuzz. I wish I started with this idea. As I'm looking at the current build, I don't think I'll be able to add footprints now without ruining the lunar surface Thank you for the idea though. I'll definitely store it away in my noggin for future use. I think when I make the video, I'll just say the footprints are too small to see, due to the scale of it, lol.

The last thing I need to do is make the American flag. Not sure if I'll make a pristine one, or a beat up one laying on the ground - from rocket wash. This won't pass the test for strict Apollo purists, but I'm hoping it's fun none the less!

I love it. A really cool idea brought to life.

Looking good. How about a few eye-level pix?

I think I'm finally done!! Here are a couple of better beauty shots. I might double up the batteries to get a bit more current to the LEDS. There are quite a few going off from the 2 AA batteries I have powering them.

That looks great!

Ok.. I finally got the video complete. This one really stretched me. I had about 65 hours of video to whittle down to the 26 minutes that this video is. I definitely am learning a lot on the video side. It's a big learning curve trying to get good angles so people can see what I'm actually doing (still needs lots of work). But here is the link for you all to enjoy! If you end up watching it, and you have any feedback, let me know so I can make future videos even betterThank you all for your kind words through my build of this one!
