I purchased these earlier this year from Ignacio Bernácer Alpera in Spain, and did a lot of research on electroplating. Unfortunately, having this done locally was next to impossible. In stepped Pascal in the Netherlands. I shipped the figures to Pascal and he prepped them and had them plated. Thanks Pascal…
This will be Alan Shepard golfing on the moon…
Scratch built 6 Iron
And Gene Cernan, last man on the moon.
Oops! Looks like you haven’t paid your Photobucket ransom yet. Too bad, as I haven’t seen anyone electroplate anything in over a decade lol.
Stupid Photobucket.
Should be fixed now
Those are gonna look awesome! The Astronauts are always fantastic subjects!

Wow!!!
I didn’t like the decals that came with the kits, so I reproduced them in Power Point and printed them out on my HP Inkjet Printer. You can actually read this under a magnifying glass.
Slow progress with this nice weather we’ve been having. It’s hard to find time in the shop.
Cheers
A most impressive build. The effort to get the electro plateing done is well worth it. [Y]
Completed PLSS & OPS
