Paper Kosmonaut
Hi friends,
Here's my next project. I was triggered in doing it because I red a very touching poem by poet/writer Gerrit Krol, who by chance also is living in my city. In one of his latest books he wrote a poem about Voyager. I crudely translated it for all you non-Dutchies:
As usual, I reduced the model in size, so Ton's original 1/24 model became 1/48.
First parts, all to do with the central core. I used a pressed cotton ball for the fuel tank.
last pic shows the two Star Trackers which are to be placed on the core's rim.

Voyager 1
No more earth, no more days.
Always night, always sun.
I just keep on roaming,
space is fixed, time is
a slackwire.
I have, on my way to the Universe,
become a new coordinate.
The sun hardly warms
me anymore.
Gerrit Krol, 2005
I decided to do something to incorporate the poem in the final display. Here's the building process itself to entertain you:No more earth, no more days.
Always night, always sun.

space is fixed, time is
a slackwire.
I have, on my way to the Universe,
become a new coordinate.
The sun hardly warms
me anymore.
