Hey guys. I picked up an Elegoo Mars back in January. I haven’t put a lot of hours on it yet, but I‘m really impressed so far. here’s a photo of some rocket engines I printed this past weekend. Modeled in Fusion 360. Also a photo of my uv cure chamber. It’s just a paint bucket from the hardware...

Looks like your off to a great start. I’d avoid the Testors glue in the tube and stick to the Tamiya extra thin cement.

Just about done... Some small details to add, maybe another weathering pass and then bodge together some kind of display case. I'm pleased with how it came together. My only regret is allowing a few problems along the way grind me to a halt. Here's the original Ron Cobb drawing that I worked...

Thanks, Joberg. Great tip. Is that a hardware store item?

Quick update. I've got the ceiling and the beginnings of some lighting. Cheap strip LEDs from China via Ebay. I went for warm white (70's film stock vibes) rather than the cool, which tends to have a blueish cast. Got everything wired in series. They're bright as hell, I also...

Thanks for posting those photos, they’re really helpful. I’m not planning on including the control console, but I may hang a spare backpack as seen in the sketch. I guess I should also mention if folks are looking for 100% screen accuracy, this won’t be it. This is primarily inspired by the...

No, just visiting.

Cool, Joberg! I remember that from PropSummit.

Absolutely stunning.

Home today because my cars in the repair shop, I turned my attention to the airlock floor grate. This one cost me 2D6 sanity points*, but I'm really happy how it turned out (*not to mention chromosome damage from the cement fumes). Rather than take the easy way out and throw down some Evergreen...

Thanks for posting those pictures. They're pretty cool. So this is the airlock that Kane, Dallas, and Lambert leave the ship from. I was just having trouble deciding whether the view into the airlock should be from inside or outside of the ship. I think building the display with the vantage...

I've decided that building this as a sort of shadow box would be a pretty cool way of displaying it. Ten or so years ago I was in Chicago for a wedding and had the good fortune of seeing the Thorne Rooms at the Art Institute of Chicago. They were really impressive and I'd love to get some of...

Stunning work every step of the way. Thanks so much for sharing.

Its been a while since I've posted any updates on this. I had lost interest a bit and lately I've had to force myself to work on it. I've made some progress recently and I think I'm starting to get my mojo back. There are now two wall assemblies. As I started to dry assemble things I...

Some progress this weekend after not working on this for a couple months... I cut out and glued up the wall sections that will make up each side of the room. I designed a simple frame to support the wall sections at 45 deg. the backside: I found a decent picture of the Airlock set...
