Thanks for the tips on the lollipops sticks, I will order some soon use them on some future models.

Good new everyone. The model is done! It's not 100% perfect, but I think it look good for someone who is a self-taught designer who barely knows what he's doing.

It is very intense model to build with many parts. The top was the most difficult design and build because getting all six poles on the top of the radiators to match the six pads under the top was impossible to get perfect, but they're a very close match, even after building it 5 times trying to get them perfect.

I will be working on the instructions which contains over 130 photos which will take a few days to complete.

Very nicely done sir....thank you for your creation of this important and special spacecraft... Btw, I use those lollypop sticks and think they work great...they can be tough to find however.

Bob,

Check with your local Arts and Craft stores, Joann, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, AC Moore(on the east coast) and go into their baking/candy making section, and you will find bags of various thicknesses, of paper rolled lollypop/cakepop sticks

Don’t underestimate your talent and skill. This is not your first model. You’ve come a long way with great designs. You have a website full of gorgeous models. You know what you’re doing. It’s a great design!

Thank you for your encouragement.

On the paper lollipop sticks, you can order many of them on Amazon, different lengths, diameters and colors. Some of them almost 12 inches long.

Good news, the Parker Solar Probe model is on my website zpdmodels.com along with 4 other models...Luna-1, Luna-2, Explorer 6 and ADM-Aeolus.

Thank you everyone for encouragement and tips on the lollipop sticks.

Enjoy

Whaouu! I just downloaded Parker Solar Probe but the model seems indeed complex to build. That said, congratulations for the quality of your work. A real model!
