Space shuttle launch complex 39A - 1:144 - EduCraft

Now this is a build a started last year, while I was still in Malaysia, after I had built the Space Shuttle stack and Mobile Launcher Platform:

Mobile Launcher Platform - 1:144 - Educraft

I moved out of Malaysia earlier than expected, and didn't get very far with this build. I was able to move it to Denmark (and the shuttle and MLP too), and although both got damaged, I did spend some time fixing them up, and doing a bit of work on and off again. A bit of work eventually turned into a serious build again. I have only taken photos in Malaysia sofar, but I will now start documenting this one again.
It's not going to be nearly as detailed as Manfred's incredible build, but it's nice enough that I'm considering having a display case made, so the next international move will be easier.
Anyway, here are some photos from last year in Malaysia.

Nice work Marco. Looking forward to following you as you complete this marvelous model.

Hello Marco,
do not hang your head and look forward. We've all had to cope with setbacks, so much continued success.

I stay tuned.

Thanks! Michael, I've been following your build - I love the way you made the diorama with the ground structure and crawler-transporter.

By the way, which Saturn V and launch complex did you make? Looks good in the background.

Fast forward to a different year, different continent, same project! I may have skipped to record a few building steps here.

Hey Marco, and welcome back on the pad.

Now let's see the RSS growing.

Here are the last two picks of the Fixed Service Structure. It was a bit of a challenge to construct a properly functioning hinge for the RSS, but I got there. The Rotating Service Structure will be up next.

Really amazing tower,

now come on with the RSS step by step.
