The Eagle has landed......
Very nice result and excellent representation of Tranquility Bay for the photos.....
Good stuff.

But.....

Did you actually build this? or was it all faked in some Hollywood Studio?
Asking for a friend..... he wears tin foil hats...

[PaulTRose]

Thats nice and different

not something you see built often since i guess its a bit old history

I have vivid memories of it.......i was 7.......head master sat us all in front of a telly and told us what we were about to see was history in the making and never forget the moment

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Thanks Paul. Like me we experienced a very exciting time in our childhood. I will never forget it and it saddens me to hear these moon landing conspiracy theorists refusing to accept the incredible bravery and genius of the astronauts involved.

You caugh me out Peter. How did you guess. Was it the orientation of the Earth that gave it away or are you an amature astronomer and noticed the the Perseus constalation was out of alighnment with Ursa Major in the stars on the background. Thanks for you comments though.

Lol, just to be clear... this was a joke, I am not a moon landing conspiracy theorist. 8-)
Although, I don't know why the Clangers never appeared in any of the Apollo missions film footage?

[PaulTRose]

I like the conspiracy theory that they got stanley kubrick to film it

Problem was kubrick was such a perfectionist he insisted on filming it in the genuine location
