Been a month. But there was this StuG which parked in the basement and I had to deal with it. :D

Painted these guys. Far from my best work. But they are secondary to the story and won't be too closely visible to the viewer.

Back at home now.

Broken laptop keys have a very busy backside! :D

I need several strong, hollow boxes to adorn the roof. These will be used to hide all the electronics as well as add to the whole techno feeling.

I happened to notice that my kids have outgrown these large style Duplo Legos.

More adding of gizmos, boxes and thingys.

The blue part was a piece from an old garage door remote. Many components seen here were once bits from the circuit board inside the remote. It will be reunited with the rest of the pieces after the paint's dry.

Thanks Ian. It's set to become busier.

Casting parts for the exterior.

Cladding for the sides of the rover's exterior.

I'm going to need between 6 and 8 of these O2 tanks.
