Thanks people, for the compliment. The material I did use for batting is 0.3 mm heating up styrene sheets and the real US duct tape, total 3 layers and later it's be plating. |

Wow! So Cool!I used to own a Hasselblad 500CM camera body that looked identical to the one that you used. Matched with Carl Zeiss lenses the Hasselblad was incredible. |

I always suspected the Soviet Moon landing was faked. But, seriously, Pascal, your work is amazing! (Or, dare I say, "Unbelievable!”)

This time something new, someone ask me to build a Christmas rocketsled for kids, for a presentation coming December here in the Netherlands does the level to kid thinking.
Rocketsled/sled rocket? does first by a little wooden sled 50 cm long a bunch styrene and thinking how it to make to inspiration kids with spacecraft. I did use a mix of the style, the time machine 1960, space shuttle and the grinch sled.After 42 hours I have it done with lights all around and in cockpit. Who comes in to sit, come later.

Here a new diorama and something else what mabe happen in the future. I did gave it the name "Breathtaking."A future Mars astronaut on who is working with NASA hardware teraforming. A sphere in which plants make oxygen to breathe, he discharges a part of his nitrogen for the plants. Let say a little mini oxygen pump station, the super reflection solar panel and laptop ensure optimal temperature and the necessary power. Very fun project. The resin 1/6 figure is from the sculpter Toi Ogunyoku, Jr., the rest is made by myself. I'm also busy with a female version.

Here my latest project end result, take a long time to build it up.A Mars rover scale 1:4, there is use a huge lot of materials, 3D printing parts with help from Michael Key (thanks!) who did my info sizes in some parts. The parts I did give extra details, cables than ll let plating, does it is a metal model. The solar panel was very hard to do but I am happy with it. Total time 702 hours, cost almost 5K ( not extra time), but here is she wake up out of her wintersleep and recharge herselves for the year 2014.

Pascal, the finished rover is beautiful!!! I was lucky enough to see progress shots throughout the build, with it slowly coming to life. You are very welcome for the printed parts- I was glad to be part of the build. I know your customer will be very happy with it!!! |
