Katsu-san -- I've just been catching up to all the fine builds. Your creativity is astounding!

Thank you very much for stopping by and your kind comment, sir.

Hi Katsu-san,

I like it. Original design with this Hopi inspired logo..
Very down to earth.

Jim

Thank you ! Jim-san.

The logo's rim has 23 stars... is that significant?

--Alex

Oh, no. It's just happened.

Thanks for looking.

I go away for a few days and you surprise us with this? OUTSTANDING! The weathering adds so much life. Well Done!

 

[Axlotl]

The mission patch is BRILLIANT!

 

[SmilingOtter]

Excellent work on the logo. I love it! And I'm especially impressed that you made it with Excel. I had no idea it had that capability...

 

[Snow Builder]

The weathering really brings the piece to life -but the decals and logo are what make it "real". As always, outstanding job!

Thank you very much, SofaKing-san. Weathering painting is a long time since I did last time.
Thank you for the kind comment, sir. I will paint the underside and tracks next and post it up soon.

The mission patch is BRILLIANT!

I thank you very much all the time, Axlotl-san.
I've tried to design something realistic.

Excellent work on the logo. I love it! And I'm especially impressed that you made it with Excel. I had no idea it had that capability...

Thank you, Tom-san.

I have been using Excel for those drawing for many years ago.
Because I couldn't buy that Photoshop or Illustrator. That was very expensive and looks like too complicated for me.
Excel is good enough even for those drawing purposes and very user friendly. And you can get better solution than you expected.
Recently, drawing with Excel is attracting the attention. If you check the web like Drawing with Excel' or something, you'll see what I'm trying to say.

The weathering really brings the piece to life -but the decals and logo are what make it "real". As always, outstanding job!

Thank you very much Snow Builder-san. That's a very pleasant words for what I did.
I will start paint the underside and tracks, touch-up here and there and that small vehicles will be finished soon.

Thank you again, friends.

Oh, no. It's just happened.

Thanks for looking.

Maybe this is the 23rd planet this agency has explored? or maybe their mission encompasses the exploration of 23 different star systems?

I don't know, it's your story. But I tend to like how many logos have symbolic meaning behind their elements, almost like medieval heraldry.

--Alex

 

[yuumi2891103]

My logo has some symbolic meanings about creation of the naure.
But it's nice to know if you project your story on a model or logo I made.
For the modeler of an original thing like me, it is the most honorable achievement.

Katsu-san,

It's so nice come back here and find such a wonderful update from you. Those decals add so much to this build. I have been looking at this while at work and left one of your images up by accident while I took a phone call. A co-worker saw the image on my computer screen and though your Planet Explorer was some kind of Mars rover. They did not realize it was a small scale model.

 

[yuumi2891103]

Wow, Randy-san, that's the pleasant happening for me.
Thank you very much for telling me!

May be you will be off duty in a few hours.
I have full 8 hours work to get over.

Have a nice day, Randy-san!

She's a beauty!

Visiting the US Air Force base? Was that 'research' for the model?

[kruleworld]

it looks amazing from every angle. I hope one day you can use it in a film (maybe do a bit of stop motion with it?) just so it's more than a static display.
