Gang,
Here's my latest WIP: Ton's 1/24 Pioneer 10/11 spacecraft. I'm building mine as Pioneer 11, the first probe to fly by both Jupiter and Saturn.
So far, I've replaced the printed foil details with actual gold and aluminum foil. I didn't like how the kit support for the high-gain antenna turned out, so I scratchbuilt the parts from styrene rod. I've also added plastic bits to represent some of the instruments the Pioneers carried.
More to come. Biggest remaining challenge is building and mounting the two Radioactive Thermal Generators (RTGs) and their support arms.
Stay tooned!
