HI, i started this,based loosely on the 1993 lunar base study-LUNOX, but i say loosely as i started off with good intentions,it sort of went astray,mainly due to lack of references to the project,i had to make up a lot of stuff?but i tried to keep in the spirit of the original project pics,starting on the generator and habitat buildings shortly,ive made them because there are no mainstream kits,of proposed moon/mars landers,and i think if i wait until there are,i,ll be dead,so best do them now? well see what you think,
some of the ref pics i was using,off the web..
and as it was my first lander build,i decided it was,nt going to cost me anything,as i thought i would abandon before finishing and go back to my rockets?
so heres what i was starting with...
left over bits
and loads of scrap sprue,s normally thrown away.
if you want the build just ask??
well heres the finished lander/rover,
four man rover 3rd version,its in the build thread?
this 3rd version has the arms/buldozer blade on.
hydraulic lift on the back..
the winch assembly
sorry it a bit picture heavy,but thanks for looking,and your comments/thoughts ideas welcome
