  1. If they'd used Action Man, or any of the other plastic figures, cleverly, or subtley, I might have liked them, but it's all a bit obvious, so looks cheap and tacky.

    1. Maybe they were rushed with the covers? Could they have achieved technically more back then though Mish?

  2. "Beyond another sun" and "To prime the pump", use a G.I.Joe spaceman and the Revell Solaris spaceship kit!

    Can you ID the other models used Moonbasers?
