Some steps ahed. Best, Nando :)

The pages of instructions and Parts for the base are done, just some refinement to do. Here two samples. if there is some volunteer that would like to try a beta test, i can share with him these rough files. Best, Nando :)

Thanks Revell-Fan, but the error wasn't "not in scale". ;) This project started long time ago and i added many incremental variations that pusched me to redo many time and in different way the build process of the single subproject. And now ... i sometime don't remember which process i applied...

Just a sneak preview, but it's already wrong :mad::cool:. Best, Nando :confused:

Hi guys, Finally I completed the model, ... almost. I have to rearrange the elements, make the instructions, ... etc. A long portion of the trip. Here the picture. First the rear portion of the third stage with an engine to test the rendering and the fit. A dry fit test for the fuselage...

Here the pictures from Flickr, waiting for the solution of the upload problem . Best, Nando :)

Looking at some picture of the Collier's era, I thought that i could design a landing gear for who would like to reproduce the shuttle landed. Here some picture of the landing gear prototype on the shuttle prototype. My version will be the stack ready for the launch. Best, Nando :) Sorry...

Hi to all, some news. The last week was very productive, but the previous one was very terrible and i was very discouraged and a step away from abandon the model. I fell in a dangerous loop when i started build, mistake, rectify, build again many times. All started well, but any time I...

I love the Ian McQue artwork. I'll follow your work with interest

A few steps ahead on the second stage Ready for a test buid. Best, Nando :)

Since I do not want to rebuild the base, I thought I would apply an image to the bottom that could simulate the weathered bottom of the MLP. I have designed, cut and applied the covers of the four sectors. But I have also corrected the files of the model so that those who will build it in...

Thanks Rhawen Blaack, Revell-Fan and Tonino. The mirror has come, only a dry fit. The result is good for me! All the work I did on the engines of the first stage is clearly visible. But there is another problem: now you can see the bottom of the MLP with the useful part number. I have to...

Hi to all, I'm back. I worked first on the angular pillar, improving the original design after some prototype. Here the sequence assemblage. But when i put the pillars on the rampart i saw a big problem with the marks. May be that is due by the way I designed the platform and so the...

Good to see you back! Beautiful work on those knobs! Ì just found some interesting "historical reference" for your "mockup" ;) Space Shuttle Program by SDASM Archives, on Flickr Space Shuttle Program by SDASM Archives, on Flickr Best, Nando :)

Absolutly, believe me that I saw it in my hands ;) Best, Nando :)

First a test with a true mirror to determine the correct height of the MLP After some rework for the angular columns, I frozen this version Pepakura and Inkscape The ramparts The first angular pillar with some workaround Just a dry fit I have to return to the drawing...

wow! I think you are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel ;) ... at least for the interior. Then the exterior, organize the part's sheets, the instructions ... O_O still a long way. But I know you have the skill, the constance and determination to complete this incredible endeavour.

For who is interested the Slawek MF is still available on Way Back Machine. Best, Nando :)

Someone noted ( ;) ) that I can show the hard work i did on the engines, putting a mirror below the rocket. But I already did a base that is sitting on the ground and I won't redo the base. But I realized that my base is an MLP indeed ( Mobile Launcher Platform), so why not rise it from the...
