Move over Rover and let Woodsy take over!


 
Not content with building a Lunar Transporter from household odds and ends, the Lord of Sword himself has put together this rather excellent Spacex Moon Buggy model! 


Check it out in comparison to the actual toy, courtesy of Paul Vreede's Spacex site.

  I think you'll agree, he's made a fine job of it, matching the colour of the plastics perfectly and the body made from a whistle is the perfect shape!
 The wheels, made from plastic balls, actually look better than the original, with the holes cut out of the side, they are very reminiscent of the Apollo Moon Exploring Prospector toy!

 
Coupled with some cool photography, I think Woody should be over the moon with this little beauty!

    Very, very nice Woodsy. Well done!

    Some say that the Moon is made of green cheese, but why looking at the Buggy makes me wanna have some Emmentaler right away...

    No Arto.
    The moon is clearly made of cheese puffs!
    Mish.

    Another brilliant creation by Mr Woods! Inspired and ingenious as always. And instantly recognisable.

    Cheers (deserved) -- Paul

    Thanks very much guys. Glad you like it. It was harder than the Lunar Transporter to do but a lot of fun.

    Great, great, repurposing of household plastic into something iconic and beautiful. Space plastic 4 ever!
