2001 Moonbus in 1/144

(1/2) > >>

Buzzbomb:
As some of you have seen, I have quite a few of the Stargazer Models 1/144 2001 Vehicles. Ian (Stargazer) is good pal, I have know for quite a number of years and he has produced some cracker kits.
The range of 2001 kits is produced to a constant 1/144 scale, so I have the Discovery, Aries and Orion.
More info here
The latest I am doing form the Stargazer Models stable (the real Stargazer Models of Devon as apparently there is another business of the same name getting around) is the 1/144 Moonbus

So compared to the Moebius or old Aurora offering, this is tiny

I jumped straight in. As with all my 2001 models, it had to have lights. Being very small about 7cm long, space is a challenge
For the blue roof lights, some SMD Led on copper strip, a red cockpit LED and two headlights


Getting power in is the next challenge. So the path I took was to run it down as part of the landing gear, so it is mostly hidden, then some pre-painting of the interior

It works  8)

More interior parts added, plus not shown in image, a pilot and other crew member in the cabin


More shortly. Thanks for dropping by
