Interplanetary Survey Vehicle "Sky Princess"

[Mr. Bill]

Greetings!
 Based on a Krafft Ehricke design for the Convair Manned Nuclear Interplanetary Vehicle from the 1950's, I used the recent Moebius Models Convair NEV as the basis for this build.  Not a reissue of the 1957 Strombecker kit, the new tool Moebius Convair NEV is well designed with good parts fit and recessed panel line details.  I modified the kit to include a steel rod for the spine, LED lighting, crew figures, a clear frontal dome, and re-purposed custom decals including the "Sky Princess" name and emblem.   Batteries and switch for the lighting are mounted in the kit display base with the wiring running through a channel cut into the stand.   Photographs were taken with a black felt background in low light with polished geode spheres to represent planets.   Many thanks for having a look, questions and comments always welcome.
 Cheers,
 Bill

Very cool, love the engine light and the princess logo especially. Nice on the steel spine.

I have a small brain and forgot to tell you...the display is fantastic! Love the planets and stars, very well done. Tell me more about the stand...
