Something was brought to my attention over the weekend that I thought members would appreciate seeing.  Some years ago, a mould used to make the silicone soul on the Apollo EVA boots was snapped up by a collector who then went on to make a very nice limited edition presentation piece making use of that mould. Well this is the cast used to make the original mould. Made from a composite called "Repro" by ILC model makers and weighing approximately 8 pounds, this cast formed the mould from which Neil Armstrong's boot, and most of the remaining moonwalkers' boots, were made. Cool and historic in equal measure.
