“Moonbase Alpha Main Mission Study Model

You model of the Alpha moon-base command is is looking great to date.
I for one can not wait to see your finished product.

Also glad to hear you where able to work out the rough patch life gave you (they are never easy) and its now in the rear view mirror.
Keep moving forward is all we can do!

Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present.

I think you should consider making some figurines and make a "stop-go" movie animation with your base as the set. You get a billion hits on YouTube!! If I could dig up some Frank Lloyd Wright "Falling Water" plans, I could post them to you in a P.m., if you wish. :)

Well I not sure how helpful this is, but I found a really simple paper model of Frank Lloyd Wright "Falling Water" a couple years ago. It is only four pages long, and the last page is instruction page, which you can see below. Here is where I found it:

Octoman your model looks great! I can't believe you scratch built it.

I have that drawing also, combined with the photos out there, it makes sense of them and can be of great use! :)

Wow!
Thanks for all of the feedback and sorry it's been a while since I've posted. The holidays were REALLY busy this year; lots of relatives in from all over and no spare moments! The rabbits are best friends now and running around the house together (if they find any paper projects; they are immediately nibbled down to nothing!) and I'm going to be getting back to work any day now. The plan is to finish the study model, start work on the styrene scratch build and turning the work already done into a paper kit to release here. I've looked over the "Falling Water" materials and added it to the long list of future projects. Thanks again for all of the interest, support and materials posted. Hope everyone had excellent holidays and that winter is bearable where you are.

See you all in a few days!

Best,

Ian

@Octoman I am sorry to hear that you were having personal problems. However I am glad to that everything is OK now and that you are OK and back again. I wish you and your family all the best. We are all here for you.

Hello all,
I know it's been months since I've posted but I've been recovering from some personal disasters. Sometimes when it rains, it comes down like bricks. I plan on finishing up the study model shortly but I'm not exactly steady on my feet yet. Thanks for being patient.

Best,
Ian

I know what you mean. Hang in there! Things do get better (sometimes just not in the way you expect). I hope that everything works out for you in the future. Looking forward to seeing what you are doing with your model.

Take care!
