About this Blog

This is about the combination of two interests, Radio Control vehicles and Science Fiction models. This blog documents my science fiction spaceship and radio controlled vehicle projects.

Moon Bus part 5

The last entry on this project was December 2015, slightly more than 4 years ago.
I had some further technical difficulties with the vehicle's suspension but have recently come up with a solution which has cured the problem.
With renewed enthusiasm for this project I have selected it as the next one to see through to completion.

I have been working on the cockpit interior.


I had intended that a couple of  1/16 scale Bruder figures were to go in here but decided to swap them out for these Tamiya Tank crew which are to meant to be the same scale.  They were originally standing figures so it has taken quite a bit of butchery to get them seated. They are quite a bit bulkier than the Bruder figures as well as being taller however they do seem to fit this space well and already look a bit Spaceman-ish with their soft helmets and headphones.



There is still a control console and a navigation console to be devised and fitted so its still very much a work in progress.

Thanks for looking.
More soon...
