A spirit for un gift

I just build this little (50% of the original model) sojourner or spirit robot as a gift for my father-in-law, who is very interrested by astronomy.

It is almost finished, I have just the robotic arm to do (and a small antenna), and the base.

That's a nice one, Pat! About 5 centimeters?

-Just one small nitpick: Sojourner is the name of another Mars rover. This is either Spirit or Opportunity.

Nicely done, Pat! We've got the rest of the Mars rovers in the downloads so you are all set for the next several gifts for your father-in-law. Builds credit with your wife, too ...

You're right Papercosmonaut, the rover is about 5 cm. (thanks for the links).

Yogi : if my father-in-law is happy with this small gift, may be I will built another for him !

The gift is now finished
