Moon Rover

[joberg]

A little project that I just finished. Didn't take pics of the WIP (it took me a month to do it at a slow pace) Not screen accurate by any means, but recognizable non the less.

Great work! Love Moon! I have the SRS Rover, and a 1/6th Gerty from Steve Howarth himself!

Happy May fellow RPF'ers!
This months model is designed to fill the craters in our hearts and eclipses all others. Moon Rover has tires that say, "YES!" because in this case, SIX is better than four when it comes to a-TRACK-tion. You will be over the moon with this photo shoot! Whether it's handling low gravity or seeing you on the Dark Side, this little rover barks a path to our imagination! So, sit back and enjoy the visual moonshine, its more than just a phase.

Thanks guys; it's appreciated.

I have often thought if it were possible to design something in such a way that hydraulics would only be in a bed…with moving parts somehow swinging past one another such that anything that needed swapping out would be easily accessible.

SARANG MOON ROVER KIT by Spacecrafting

My model of the Sarang Rover from Ducan Jones excellent film MOON. Designed to be printed on my Anycubic photon resin printer. The model is divided into parts to allow it to be printed at a decent size and with no supports Wheels can be glued to metal axles and can be made to rotate The model...

Hey guys, there is a beautiful paper card model of the rover that you can download for free, go to paperaviation.de I’ve got one started and it’s a real beauty. Might make you a card model convert once you see what he has available!

+1 for Scott's Rover - one of the cleanest castings I've had in 30 years of doing resin kits!
