Here’s Apollo, my third Galaxy inspired Allan repaint and 32nd Allan doll overall in my collection. This Allan came with severe red stains on his face so I’ve been itching to try incorporating it into a custom so he’s sat around for awhile.
I guess I’m frustrated with this custom cuz it’s my first custom where a majority of it is done in chalk pastel, and it’s nearly impossible to get really bright and vibrant colours. I ended up using half a can of msc on this one doll which is ridiculous to me when I can get brighter colours using paint.
But, having a day to cool off and separate the doll from the ideal in my mind, he’s not a bad custom. In fact I’m really proud of how well the pastels blended together and how much more subtle this galaxy print looks.
His eye paint is very 90s inspired and I was hoping to invoke that feeling you get when you see Sailor Moon transform and her entire body is galaxies except for her eyes.
Buzz Aldrin wore this outer helmet while on the surface of the moon, fitted over his clear pressure-bubble helmet. His gloves are made of cut-resistent fabric and gauntlets to protect against solar heating. The fingertips were made of silicone rubber for added sensitivity. This was one of the displays at the St. Louis Science Center exhibit.

:-) Of course this is not a real Apollo rocket, but an antenna on Mount Wellington near Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.

The Rover is stored in the Descent Stage of the Lunar Module for the trip to the Lunar surface. This inspection came during a review of Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments at the Spaceport. Launch is set for March 17.
