      So, lets get the render going, a good Mars scene will work.

        One last top detail to complete and I can start on the undercarriage.

              Looking great.

              So what material is it going to be, I saw the drawings but they do not give much of an idea of what it's made of, looks like an aluminum of sorts.

                In the days of this design, white was the preferred color for most things "space".

                  Bryan that looks great, I don't think I would have the patience to model something like that accurately.

                      But my tink is just made up as I go, nothing needs to be right, whereas yours has to look like the original.

                        Eventually I will be posting my own designs and have already, but I still need to master SketchUp and the only way I can think to do that is to recreate previously designed things. So why not try the masters?

                        I'm also a huge fan of sci fi. 😎
