“A scale model of the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM) for Project Apollo.
The LEM is the vehicle to land on the moon surface with 2 men from a moon-orbiting Apollo Spacecraft and return.”
Apparently this is one of multiple documentation photos of this LEM model configuration, this being a “3/4 Left Front” view.
I’ll refrain from lame humor…such as noting the fine-grained Berber-like nature/texture of the simulated lunar surface, along with bringing attention to the Klaatu/Gort/svelte Michelin Man-like appearance of the Astronaut.
Seriously though, note the lines/striations painted on the Astronaut's suit, in vicinity of the tufted convergence areas, to give the appearance of folds & stretching of the "material". Good stuff.
Finally, check out the light residue coating the surface of the model. I wouldn't be surprised if this was hurriedly brought from the model shop, as soon as it was built, to the carpeted offi...err “photo studio".
