Ranger 3 Deep Space Probe

Has anyone made a paper model of this Buck Rogers spacecraft?

Of all the other Buck Rogers spacecrafts I have never seen one of these.

I've asked the same question several times over the last few years, but I've never been able to find one either. I'd also love to see a paper model of Twiki.

I am no designer, but if I could,this would be one of the spacecraft I would designe. I have seen more complex models here, so this is what is baffling to me why the Ranger 3 has never showed up.

Rumours has it that Thunderchild is making one soon ..! :twisted:

 

[the mole]

Oh Thunderchild if this is true and I understand it's just a rumour, But if it is true your'e my hero. This will be a great model to add to the rest of the Buck Roger group. Thank you in advance.:thumb:

The best thing is, if anyone has tackled the model, you'll be able adapt it to build four versions of it: Ranger 3 clean, Ranger 3 weathered, Buck's shuttle from season 2 and the Galactica pumpkin shuttle from "Greetings From Earth"!

All four would make a great gruop build. It would be almost unreal to be able to build all four versions. I can't wait.:thumb:

It's basically a modified space shuttle. If you had a decent model to begin with, it wouldn' seem too hard. (Says the ignorant).

Update time....

This looks great. Thanks for the post.

 

[mcusanelli]

That looks fantastic!!! TC, any idea what scale you might make it in? No pressure, just curious.

Finally

At long last I returned to do a little work on this one. Landing gear and cockpit done.

 

[Revell-Fan]

Oh boy, that is MORE than I have expected...

 

[zathros]

Great news Thunderchild!! Looks great!

Cockpit included Sweeeeeeet!!!! This is gonna be a great addition to the Buck Rogers collection. Thanks for designing this one Thunderchild. Now all we need is the Hatchet fighter. I have a plastic one in a box somewhere...
