Title: The Space Conquest Part 4 - Lab in the Sky
Post by: Antonio Sobral on June 03, 2019, 05:04:10 AM
Hi guys

Now that the Moon was conquered in the last episode, it is time to establish a more permanent place in orbit.

A platform to allow scientists to conduct the most diverse scientific experiments.

My own version of a "Lab in the Sky" (eat your heart out NASA! :) )


So let's begin...almost 10 years ago, when I did this with a Trumpeter kit:

Now is recycling time!

Putting all the pieces together and joining some more bits from the spare box, I got this:

The scale is 1/200 and I will add later a couple of figures in some EVA activities.


Thanks for watching!

That is a very convincing model Antonio!  Definitely looks like a real space craft with all of the extra bits you have added on.

Another amazing project.

I can't even find the motivation to sit at the bench, and this isn't helping.  (Kidding, it's actually really inspiring!)  Maybe after work tonight?

I look forward to updates on this one.

Hi guys

Thanks for the nice words, and sorry for being absent so long :(

But fortunately I managed to finish this one.

Just some colour highlights to brighten up the craft :)

I especially like how the little bits of color draws my eye in.

Out of this world, Antonio!
