rockpopandchips Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) Scratched out of few ideas on paper and I'm now thinking of making the little brother to the MLEV-5 Mars Lunar Explorer or atleast using it a idea base.

Pete in Lincs Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Hmmm, one to watch. WANTED: 1/35 scale car door - I'm pretty sure you could scratch one. Think '72 Mercedes or '68 Cortina - easy. Plastic card to the fore! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to give it a go, I was going to use a vw beetle door but that might be joining a P38 lightning... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom216 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Pretty good start already. Surprising where a ball and plastic rods will take you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been heating and bending thin plastic rod to add frame type parts. Making a straight to follow a curve is massively frustrating and rewarding, I did manage to get CA all over the place so will post pictures once I have clean it up a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thom216 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 For a moment when I saw the side sensors I though you were arming it! 😨 It's really coming together. What's the final scheme going to be? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I'm just letting it develop on it own at the moment. I have just ordered 3, 25mm figures from Denizen miniatures to add some more interest, so I guess I need to make an alien landscape for it now. 😁 Order SF10, SF15 and SF16 to put at the base of the pod, I think I need to make a door or hatch opening now... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
