EBAY Wood Mars Lander

They aren't kidding . . . 

The listing is HERE

Sure you can upscale and downscale an existing kit design, Can you call it a scale model of a rocket that never really existed?
I'd rather just get the Semroc kit version. A lot cheaper and the shroud and nose cone true to the Estes original.


The Ebay listing:

This Premier-Quality handcrafted 

"Mars Lander Spacecraft Rocket Kiln Dry Wood Model Big" is hand-sculpted made from environment-friendly and abundant kiln-dried Philippine Mahogany Wood and skillfully hand painted by gifted artists.


Please "Buy it now" only if you can wait for a month of production plus shipping time (depending on your shipping choice) for your order. We will immediately ship as soon as our factory finishes your model.


Height = 12 inches

Model Weight = 2 pounds (0.90 kgs)

Only $188.00 plus $55.00 shipping

In the end it looks like this Philippine wood carving company copied a still picture of Steve Pollak's upscale Mars Lander.
Check out Roger Smith's video of the "landing" HERE

Come to think of it, I might use the name:

"Spacecraft Rocket Kiln Dry Wood Model Big"

on a future build.
