Good job, that's quite an impressive model. What scale is it?

hi hobbes,it was meant to be for around 1/72,but to be honest it was made,from just looking at the few pics i had,and gauging the size of the ladder,really?

hello,and thanks to all for your intrest and looking,heres the finished pics,though i still have some bits to finish on the base,so the base is not as it will be..

here we go..
































view from low orbit..







view of docking facility,for the orion capsule?


















heres the ascent module,leaving please feel free to make associated thrust noises/roars, ido,cannot help it ,its inbuilt/hard wired to the brain?











the ascent engine








the landing 4





the platform is left behind for reuse as a habitat site,with the addition of auto landed modules,








pics i used,i got close,but went for a coupe version?





and here it is with the auto lander,and rover







and the next one involves building another platform and a habitat module with a very large solar array attached,which is ongoing now..




using this,as my plan





and this for the auto lander,with crane,and low loader?






so thanks for your intrest,and comments,and thanks for looking,its pointless my making it if no one sees it?

and as its that time of year nearly,best wishes of the season,and have a very secret new year.

cheers Don
