SCALE: Not yet decided, but somewhere between 1/12 and 1/8th.

Full Featured and accurate as possible.

One astronaut sitting while the 2d astronaut is digging up lunar soil in the background. (Diorama)

MISSION: Apollo 17

This will obviously take some time to execute, so just like the Command Module, I can't predict the finish date; but the wait should be worth it.

I won't be starting this immediately, but it's never too soon to start discussing and collecting good reference material. If anyone has any good documentation and/or illustrations/pictures of the rear tool rack, please advise. This is one of the illusive pieces of data still lacking.

All in ?

I worked with the USGS in Flagstaff, Az during the Astronaut training from Apollo 15-17. Somewhere in my collection of documents I have a complete Pilot Familiarization Manual for one of the late rovers. If I can find it your welcome to use it. I'll look and let you know.
