Funny project, I'm building something in the same theme of rocket to the moon.

Ok... I'll admit it. I'm very proud how the headlights turned out. I wasn't sure when i drilled out the holes if I was going to regret it, but a tiny bit of clear stretched sprue and some silver paint make a huge differece!
