Here are some more build pics...
I got some free time for a couple of hours last night and finished putting the propellant tanks together, and started work on the main body. The Main instrument housing has a paper pivot I've created, to allow the solar array to pivot along the side axis, and there will be a secondary pivot on each side to allow the solar arrays to "fold" forward or backwards to let the model be configured in any of the solar array configurations that this spacecraft was able to be positioned into. It has a cruise configuration, and an aerobraking configuration, as well as a mapping configuration. This model will allow you to place it any any of those configs you want (I hope - hense the prototype design before I post it).
But anyway, here are some more pics.
