Another Apollo project - LLRV 1/18 scale

Aïe Caramba that fuel control unit is very small. Wow, the details, the details and the details

you're going to have to display this under a magnifying lens.

Hi guys! Thanks! Has it been 3 years already? : )

I still need to add more pipes on the engine - as well as hoses -- I've never modelled hoses before so I'll have to look into it : ) Pipes are easier to do than organic, curvy stuff.

 

[joberg]

YES! You're back and those rendering are, once again super detailed

Modelled the gimbal:



Brass pins for the pivots:







And two more pins here for the engine:

















Modelled a printable ejection seat:

Modelled also the thrusters (rocket clusters):

After it's finished, it's going to a Space Museum...right?

 

[Leinads]

Back in the ejection seat… I mean, the saddle again! Wow

 

[stevielewis]

This is just awesome! Glad you're back at it.

[CosmicQuest]

Man... This is some amazing work!!

 

[skiffy]

Wow - the attention to detail is second to none. As Joberg said - Museum quality work. Bravo!

 

[crackerjazz]

Thanks guys! : )




Modelled a printable landing radar as well as other parts:

















Helium tanks:

LLRV-1 initially had caster landing gears but I read that the LLRV tended to roll on the tarmac when gusts were strong that they had to replace the landing gears with those pogo sticks : )

I'm simply in complete jaw-dropping awe of your CAD skills. (And incredibly jealous!)

have you had the urge to 3d print any of this ?
