Well, after superglueing my hands together and jumping up and down loads in frustration I've finally finished my home made scratchbuilt LT-10 Lunar Transporter inspired by the Tri-ang SpaceX original.
The aerials came together using a couple of red cap gun cap cases as the little bases and two globe headed pins painted white.
The decal is a combination of stickers cut to size and some colouring with pens.
The lettering is letraset scratched to size on the gloss side of a strip of sticky tape. It stuck onto the side of the mascara tube really well.
You can see the boxy undercarraige here that I had to make to carry the wheel axles.
At the rear I placed a magnet for added value in case accessories need attaching. This magnet was capped with a piece of metal to sort of suggest the die-cast base of the original. The wheel structure was the hardest thing I had to make!
In a fit of excess I also made a custom Lunar Trailer using an old radio aerial and parts from an older scratch project.
The aerial still extends for those tricky moon journeys ferrying bright green isotopes across the craters.
Rather neatly the aerial is able to push into the e-cig exhaust on the Transporter!
This junk project was a lot of fun I have to admit.
How do you think it turned out readers?
