Minor Matt Mason

Pictures courtesy of Ferryman from his recently acquired Miniature Apollo Exploration Set. Note the influence of Major Matt Mason ansd SpaceX. I love the box art - the flourescent lava and the swirling space background. Is that painted? Anyone else got this old set?

Smashing photos. I've got one of these sets. Mine came wth a painted 'poster' of the moon and the big 'Apollo' rocket in it. Very much a poor man's Spacex.
