Cheers. 3d printed them on my Ender 3. The files are free from thingiverse.

Now working out where things are going and starting to add some bulk.

The main fuel tanks are placed but not fixed yet.


The personnel exit from the habitation sphere.


A closer view of the vehicle area, personnel ladder and engines.

Soon I will block off the horizontal tubes and start adding pipes and other details to the body.

Nope, just a HO scale ladder and cage.  Couple of pounds from Gaugemaster.

Now that's pretty cool!

I think it's about done.





With better weather, paint will be applied and I can see what else may be needed.

Watch this space!

It was a sunny day, so I have managed to lay down three undercoats.

Here is a setup of some finished boards, the US and PLA, and the PLA lander with vehicle cargo.



The US pulling out all the stops to intervene.



The PLA primary moon lander.



Realistic lander, or how to glue your balls together!



Another white coat is needed, then hopefully my PLA flag transfers will be delivered and some livery can be applied.
