jetboy Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 hello, well just a few more to do,this ones going to be a auto lander,with a nuclear powered oxygen plant,to extract the oxygen from the lunar regolith.vitally important,to fuel the mining plant and return journey,s.The dumb lander also acts as a storage facility for the oxygen,also im making my representations of the remote control vehicles used to scoop up the lunar dust,and transport to the oxygen plant,also making a portable oxygen/refueling vehicle,used to refill the returning landers etc.. this is the dumb lander,with the nuclear plant.. onwards... don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetboy Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 hi,so heres the complete package,...auto lander...lunar oxygen productionplant/storage facility,with nuclear power reactor,remote regolith collectors and a mobile oxygen vehicle,for refueling... so start with the oxygen plant first,this will give me some idea as to the size of the rest of the plant.. wellthats about the shape... start on the top,of the nuclear plant.. now the base.. somewhere near right shape? with the first version,of the remote control regolith collector need to fill in the nuclear power plant,going to use various pipes? trying a few different sizes?? we,ll see where this goes.. now with the size of the plant sorted,i can work out how big the auto lander needs to be?? pretty big? so with a few bits,it will look something like this.. and with the fuel tanks on,which will also be the storage tanks for the oxygen produced,?? so need to decide on how im going to build the dust extractors? going to use martin,s models wheels,his tractor ones i think? thanks for looking... don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetboy Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 ok on with the mobile storage vehicle and lander refueler, start with chassis. trying to work out how big to make it?? might use some of martins models resin,steelwork as tank carriers? putting some detail on the trailer bed? going to use martin,s models, s.i.d. attachments,as bits... cut these down for sticky on bits... which will look something like this, going to use some of mmodels control panels as well.. and maybe a light bar thing as well. which will look something like this... put two control panels on one end done,might put some lights at the other end? so the trailer bed looks like this,??poss with the light bar fitted might use these wheels? thanks for looking don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
