Semroc Micro Mars Lander, KMX-02, Part 10, Detail Pieces





The small rectangle detail piece is glued on the upper band wrap.






The foot pads are small. I sanded the edges smooth by holding them with long tweezers.
These were stuck on a piece of masking tape for a shot of filler/primer.

On the left are the foot pad centers, the larger circle pieces are the antenna dishes. Four antenna dishes are included in the kit, you only need two.

On the right - the centers are glued onto the foot pads covering the slot.






The strut support details are laser cut on card stock.
Note the support pieces aren't "mirrored" - See next picture.





The back side has some laser smoke discoloration. Because four of these aren't a mirror image, half could be glued with this smoky side facing out.

TIP: You can remove some of the ash with careful use of a pencil eraser. The right side picture shows the smoky side after using the eraser.
