Beautiful work! Would love to build this one and display it with the Delta II kit I have somewhere on my harddrive...

Yah Joe, looking at it I see your point. I'll probably leave both options on the sheet.

Avery, I can post the plans as is, but I haven't even started working on directions. Not sure how the solar array folds for launch - the posted pictures don't seem to show any evidence of hinges (may rotate?).

Yogi

Note - picture of satellite upload into the shroud shows it launches as it flies - no folding apparent.

I would definitely suggest leaving the tubes as an option as well. Despite my clumsy fingers, I will most likely roll the tubes when I build it myself.
And thank you so much for posting the daVinci robot. I'm hoping to get my schedule cleared in the next few days to attempt it. I'm looking at doing some (limited) articulation of the arms, too, so I'll post pics when I get there.

Not space-definitely Aero - CV-22

Still working on a repaint of Paragon's MV-22 to the CV-22 configuration. Pencil in hand, it's taking a while (and lot's of prototypes - more for the classroom ceiling I guess).

Most of the work is on the nose detail bits (radome, AR probe, etc.). Obviously the part where CAD would be most useful - ah well, it's a hobby right?

Filling in the gaps - flying robots

Got a copy of the MQ-1 Predator (Paper Replika), but that seems to be about it for the UAV fleet. So, trying to fill a few more gaps with:

The GLOBAL HAKO (I mean Hawk). It's so danged square it just didn't seem worth the effort to work out a bunch of tubes, conics, and domes. 1:100 scale fit check article pictured, RQ-4 block 20. Now it's back to the screen for a couple of tweaks, paint and a few details (I think I can handle all six parts).

I built the Predator from Replika and I was thoroughly impressed. I kinda like that Global Hawk.

I apologize for moving off the subject for a moment:
I thought of this again when I saw your WISE model for some reason. In case you ever come to a point where you're wondering which other space probes to model, you should consider COBE, the Cosmic Background Explorer. A very interesting craft, and one that marked an important turning point in science: the beginnings of cosmology as real-world experiment instead of simple conjecture.
I have never yet seen a model of it, and it seems like the kind of conversation piece needed when you want to explain science's successes. It's certainly one of the most famous!
Carry on! :D

Not off subject J - this thread is kind of a catch-all for my projects, comments on same, requests, future directions, etc. Nothing is off-limits (after 28 years in tac airlift and SOF I've a pretty thick hide).

As a matter of fact, I already have a directory set up with a few random photos and notes on COBE. Much more work to do (like finishing the Indian and Chinese moon probes). WISE was a target of opportunity since I actually noticed it before it launched - and the WISE-is-a-box model was a pretty good start, basically a six-view scaled drawing. Just forwarded the instructions/kit to Berkeley to see if they want to offer it along side the box model (like the MESSENGER site).

A little bit of fiddlin'

Working on a few new projects - interspersed with production for the next teacher workshop. So far, I figure I'll use various Hako robots (and the Silent Running crew) and UAVs, maybe a few spacecraft (NASA guy is coming around again so I'll see what he can use).

Meanwhile - I've done the last couple of projects at 1:24; easier design and build but most of what I've donated to the Planetarium is 1:48. So, back we go for some 50% prints.

So far:

Mariner 10 "First to Mercury" at 1:48

I added some additional detail that's not on the Mariner 10 uploaded here. That's the next project - to revise the simple Mariner 10 to include the rest of its instrument package and improve the structural detail on the HGA, solar panels, and magnetometer brackets.

And WISE downsized to 1-48 for the display.

Projects in work

Continuing to flesh out significant space probes that are not available (popular?). This is the plain paper test article to check the graphics and to look for any fit issues. Just a few sample parts (one of each "type"). So far, so good.
