Work has been slow on my Pioneer in 1:24 scale. I have a bad habit of doing the skin first and then thinking about the foundation. So in trying to backtrack there is quite a bit of Aves Apoxie in there. But it's working and maybe someday I'll learn. ;-)
As of now I added the top to the probe as well as that little engine made from two sizes of styrene rod and some more Aves to create the bell. It's primed to check for gaps and uneven places in the styrene - I used 0.01 styrene for this build so it was pretty flimsy.
Up next will be to saw off the metal tube used for a place for the stand, and to build the little rockets on the bottom. The hole in the side will also be filled with Microscale Kristal Klear to mimic the lens of the camera.
After that will be the hopefully not to difficult job of masking and painiting. (HA) The micrometeorite detector will go on last. Stay tuned...
