Hello. I was asked if I’d be willing to show some of my work. As a new forum member I’m limited to one picture per post. So I’ll do a few individual posts to showcase some of the models I’m happy with!
MPC put this “Pilgrim Observer” kit out during America’s love of space exploration. It was a fictional mission, but MPC included a ‘mission book’ and a t-shirt iron-on transfer of the mission patch. These were included in the kit.
I got it form EBay, and it had been partially assembled and painted. The glue was so old most of the assemblies popped apart, so I smoothed what I could and reassembled. I didn’t really like the gaudy paint-scheme the box proposed; I decided on more of a ‘bare metal/minimum paint’ method. Although this photo shows everything ‘closed up’, I can remove the front clam-shell doors and move the antennae and telescope inside. I can also unfold the three habitat-arms and extend the boom holding the nuclear engine. In these configurations the model won’t fit on it’s stand though.
