Moon Globe

[Robp]

Hi all,

Following on from this thread:

The kickstarter shipped some globes out, Adam Savage got one on his channel Tested and did a box opening so I thought it might interest someone:

It's really expensive in my opinion but if I could spare the money I'd have one to stick on my shelf  

 

Original product is here:

If you want something a little less costly there's little planet factory. The site's not taking orders since they got a backlog after being featured in an Astronomy Now review but you can get their stuff from shape ways - https://www.shapeways.com/product/5VHNT7GND/the-moon-90mm-surface-detail?key=3d9011c3c7bf3192cbf937515eed36f3

Looks like a nice alternative and cheaper but also a lot smaller.

Was the review positive?

[johnfosteruk]

Yes it was positive, they do up to 200mm but that's not far off the same price. Also they do custom orders/sizes.

LPF have tiny versions too and when they reopen for orders they do painted versions as well.

Echo that! When he finally does, the bit with the Google tourch is pretty cool.

I must say the whole trend of 'unboxing' videos annoys me. It's as if they're more interested in making a show, about them than reviewing the actual product. Shut the hell up and crack on with it will you.
