pictures, but that's all. I was surprised to see that the real flight article had an aluminum and brass
color, not white with black stripes, as is often depicted. Only one part keeps deluding me: the underside with
the instruments. No idea
what that part really looks like.
If anyone would like to share good info about Pioneer 3 or 4, please let me know.
I recently installed Inkscape. I still have to learn how to work with it, get to know all of its functions. A ruler seems
to be missing, so measuring the length of the parts is something I have to figure out. Until then, I'll stick to my
bitmap drawings....

Yeah, the underside's a tricky bit; I'm currently just adding the docking ring as a stopgap - might change it in the future, though.
