K2Pete Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 This is the Monogram 1/48 Lunar Module with my scratch built Surveyor ... in a diorama. I used the book Virtual LM and New Ware's update set to build out the LM ... The Surveyor with Pete Conrad ... This was the Diorama ... the base was 24" x 24" IIRC The Surveyor's parts ... ... and done. And a view from the back ... This was another fun model to build!

K2Pete Posted January 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Thanx Mark! I used to work as a Technical Illustrator creating exploded views and cutaway views for use in Technical Manuals and I love getting "into the weeds" when I'm researching a subject and to see my results in 3D, that I can hold in my hands is a bit of a thrill. To build it all up like a carpenter would build a lovely piece of furniture from a couple sheets of wood, just satisfies the heck outta me. It's not at all the same as building it up on a screen and sending it to Print ... ;- ( And this subject matter has been my main area of interest since the early 60's ... and it STILL fascinates me!

Mark Deliduka Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Most interesting. I too have always been interested in space exploration in the 60's and 70's. The space shuttle was a great vehicle too. And you just described perfectly why I build models: the thrill of holding a 3D something in my hands after I've built it. Granted I don't scratch build nearly as much as you do, but I get the same thrill regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stikpusher Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 Man you sure have done some superb work on all of these US Space program builds. Every one of them captures an idea or moment in time so completely and authentically. Bravo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
