Oh, I love 60's lenticular space scenes! My immediate thought here is these cards often used existing items, like Action Man in his space suit AND a customised Major Matt on the porch! The LEM in the background is a bit more of a mystery, given these 3D set ups were usually shot "live" --Photoshop for compositing images hadn't been invented yet! So, Moonbasers, do you think that LEM is custom built, because of it's required size? It's certainly much larger than any of the available plastic model kits!
I feel for the poor Major with his tin foil boots and gloves! I'd suggest the LEM is a custom built model, possibly wood and paper, with a bit of good old Blue Peter 'sticky back plastic' thrown in for good measure. Ive got a couple of lenticulars, they are lovely things and so reminiscent of the sixties! Bill
