After walking Blue the doggy and I have made some progress on the Moonbase model in my rather cramped but snug attic den.
That old floral Liberty chair is so comfy you wouldn't believe it! And with my stereo record player still in action I've been modelling to the sweet riffs of Wishbone Ash and Rory Gallagher!
So, I've tested the battery-powered lights...
On the Housing module
and Light Module.
more or less finished the Garage Module, on the floor, complete with crane and ramp, which looks quite good don't you think?
and the base unit of the Light Module on the floor too looking like a square cake with 4 legs at the mo!
As predicted the LEM has proven the most difficult. I couldn't find a Panettone box anywhere - think it must be a Xmas thing - so I've opted for a stack of 3 small boxes to create the effect. Its on the chair waiting for the top box. Not finished yet so the jury's still out!
Need to decide whether any extra livery or decals are required over and above the SWORD logo.
What do you think of the build so far?
lookin' good Woodsy!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the resourceful way you've approached this creative scratch build, Woodsy. Certainly looking the part and must be great fun to be able to do these things and see the results reaching fruition. Wont be long before you and faithful Space Mutt Blue are on the lunar surface mapping out plans for the real thing :) Keep going guys it's lookin' good.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement Tone. I'm not a natural modeler at all but the very few things I've clumsily made I've enjoyed the experience.
