And an appendix:

Again, I was doing some poetic stuff with it. Thinking about its fate, bravely fulfilling its assignment:
Ranger

My silver body shines
Spread out blue wings
In the sunlight
I am falling to my end

While the craters grow
I keep watching
Passing on
What I see

For those who made me
Who understand

I hope my last view
Will arrive
Beyond the vastness of the
Dark ocean
When I crash
In moon dust

PK,

very nice build! Wish I had your ability to get such fantastic ideas for small displays!
BTW, how many did you finish yet? What about a group pic?

At this moment I have 37 finished paper models with which I am more or less happy with the way they turned out. between them and elsewhere in my house there also are about the same number of plastic models (mostly aircraft) from way back when I hadn't discovered the joy of paper models. Still got some unmade plastic models in stashed but they'll have to wait..
Pictures of other builds can be found in my gallery on my blog, (link is my signature)
And a group pic of all space stuff (including all paper models):

As you might see there isn't much room left. Everything is crammed tightly together to still have some space for upcoming stuff...

Most impressive collection!
But to the room thing- isn't that every model builder's problem? There seems to be space enough for a couple of future builds left in your Ivars ;-)

It's one of the reasons I started to build in those small scales. But those flat picture frames don't do much for keeping it spacious...(-;

From my experience, you can build in whatever scale you want, you always end up having too little room ;-)

Hahaha! That is true, Thorst, but a 1/400th shuttle stack plus crawler still doesn't take as much place as a 1/48th shuttle model!

Hi PK
Impressive collection. Surely some more space in the Diorama.
Please try to use the wall

Use the wall? First reading this I just laughed. The wall? Maybe like putting a Soyuz on a stick out of the wall?

But then it dawned on me. Hanging picture frames on the wall is not such a bad idea. Merzo might be on to something. So I...

Now... Isn't that fun? I don't know if its temporary but it certainly is making space! Hahahaha!
Thanks Merzo! Who would have thought Paper Kosmonaut would put picture frames on the wall?

That is a very cool idea, and brilliantly executed!
