Whoever designed this got a lot of detail in the simplified lander legs.Chris Michielssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907925631001358372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612012025300219489.post-36664878251017576062018-10-20T15:00:17.756-04:002018-10-20T15:00:17.756-04:00Oh boy, do I love sub-assembling and painting Mars...Oh boy, do I love sub-assembling and painting Mars Lander legs!
