Revell Astronaut on the Moon as Apollo 12 Pete Conrad

[RLobinske]

I used the 50th anniversary reissue to build up the Astronaut on the Moon kit as Apollo 12 CDR Pete Conrad during his photo documentation of the ALSEP. Corrected the umbilical connections with nylon nuts and washers for the suit connections, tissue wrapped electrical wire for the hoses. Reshaped the LEVA fisor with Apoxie Sculpt, added the chest chinch strap and pouch from wine bottle foil. Added velcro strips around the umbilical connectors and top of the OPS. The Hasselblad camera is a 3D test print from Glenn Johnson of RealSpace Models. The cuff checklist was built up from scaled images of the ALSEP pages printed on regular paper and trimmed to shape. The Omega watch was made from acrylic rod with a small print of a watch face on the underside to show through. On the base, I covered the landing pad area with a scratchbuilt Passive Seismic Experiment. The decals I printed with a color laser printer onto clear film, except the large Apollo 12 patch on the base which was from a set of Apollo patches I had previously done on white film. The visor refection is a mirror image decal of one of the ALSEP pan photos. Got a few wrinkles that I had to flatten out and had a kind of happy accident with a bit of color shift that I think hints at the color distortion caused by the gold on the visor.
