It looks really good, the only problem I have is the lack of shading on the folds of his suit. 

If you want to Id suggest try using these

There perfect for that, especially the gray

Fantastic. The image in the visor makes this a very special model. It's beautiful.

Love your work on this one Darren, top shelf stuff!  The base, suit, and backdrop are very well done, but it is that visor that really sets it off.  Well done! Toast

Thanks!

The reflection on the visor was quite easy, I blew up the photo of Buzz to 1:8 scale then cut out the reflection and stuck it to the inside of his visor. I thought it was kinda cool to use an image from the photo that I was trying to re-create. Cool

Nice looking model.  How did you do the reflection images in the helmet visor?

Hello Everyone,

I picked up Revell's 1:8 astronaut a while back and wanted to re-create that famous photo of Buzz Aldrin on the moon. Here's the photo:



Here is my model, hope you enjoy it. It was a fun build.
