Very cool! That's an awesomely straight magnetometer boom!

Thank you guys for the kind words. I don't really mind the competition itself. I just liked doing the build report and seeing all of the other entries. Good luck to anyone else who has entered the race!

Some slightly better pictures:

Brilliant work JP. Good luck with the competition. Is there a link to that model, or did I over look it?

All the way down at the bottom.

the boom should angle up 3 degrees, but you may want to give it a little extra to compensate for future gravitational effects.

Boom! Boom!

Great build - so much fiddly detail.

Good luck in the comp.

Very cool, thanks. Again, great job!

That's a wonderful build. I have a resin and etched brass model of this waiting in the pile to be built. I'll be chuffed to bits if it turns out andwhere near as neat as your build.

Thank you everyone. You wanna know a secret? I have the resin model as well... and I have to order a new one because I screwed it up.

The paper model and the plastic one are in the same scale, so I got what I wanted in the end -- a Voyager spacecraft. And if this one gets screwed up, I'll print another one instead of dropping $60 on a plastic one that has to get sent in the mail. No offense to plastic, but it isn't my best talent. And gluing metal to ANYTHING with super glue is not a task that favors the sane, much less metal to metal or metal to resin. In that model there's lots of photoetched brass and metal tubing and wire to firmly secure, and... I'll stick to paper for now, thank you. The adhesives are more cooperative.

Thank you! I totally feel you on that issue. I was working on Ron Caudillo's LIS Space Pod and bunged it up real good. All I have to do now is reprint it and have another go.
