Destination Moon: Luna

This is the spaceship LUNA from the 1950 sci-fi film DESTINATION MOON. Look closely and you'll spot one tiny astronaut climbing the ladder, while another watches from the campsite on the ground.

The kit provided a piece of 1/32" brass wire for the ladder rungs which was far too thick. I replaced it by using standard staples, each individually bent and set into hand-drilled holes. Needless to say, there are a LOT of rungs in that ladder!
