Wish You Were Here!

My contest entry shows the wonders of outer space in two fun, framed postcards that I built. I originally planned on building a different model, but changed my mind and started building the solar system model shown in the pictures instead. (The whole model consists of about 2252 pieces)

When I finished building it, my older sister suggested that I should build another postcard for fun. She said that I should make some astronauts be exploring a strange planet, and I should write "Wish you were here", across the top (which was what I had planned on writing on the first model that I had originally planned on building). Since I still had some time, I decided to take her advice. When I found out that the Brick Links digital designing website had the baby astronaut figures, I knew that I had to use them (unfortunately, I couldn't find the baby-sized space helmets).
