Another one bites the (Moon)dust!

This is Intuitive Machines' #IM2 lander that once again toppled over after trying to land on Mons Mouton near the lunar south pole.

The picture had lots of detail hidden in the shadows which I brought out in processing.

Fisheye picture from the lunar surface taken by a camera attached to the top of the IM2 lander. The lander has fallen over on it's side and the legs point towards the small half lit earth in the far distance.
The crater partially lies in the shade, which covers most of the foreground. A small hill is visible on the horizon.

To celebrate the launch of Intuitive machines Nova-C Lander IM-2 Athens I created 3 Mocs of the Lander in 3 different scales. 1:110/1:42/1:20

Meanwhile back at the L3M / LKM, there's a photo of a VERY basic mockup at the Moscow Aviation Institute.

More work on the LKM WIP.

*Feet flattened
*Battery pack tucked in
*Various sizes adjusted
*Spherical tanks larger
*Hold down jets added

Fitting the airlock is still messy, and new adjustments are needed.

But it's getting better

My newest Mock the Lunar Lander based on Soyuz A.
I got inspired by the wonderful graphic by @Nick_Stevens_graphics and decided to recreate it as a Moc.
Hope you like it!

One last post for today.

I need to update my "all the Soviet Lunar Stuff" image, I've started on that.

But more to add...

And I need to get rough scales at least on everything.

Collected crewed Soviet Lunar craft.

Tiangong 1 in scale 1:42 (Minifig Scale) The left side panel can be detached and shows the interior of the first Chinese Space station. It's combinable with my Shenzhou (1:42) A stand to present both together will be released later in the week. reb.li/m/208352

Happy new year!
I took my time off from Lego and social media during Christmas time.
Today I used my free Sunday to fix the Shenzhou solar panel collection and uploaded a stand for both Shenzhou versions!

@Ohsin thank you very much. I did the whole Calendar in mid October and it's insane how much changed within this short time.
Bummer.
