Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !

I have a question for any forum members that have ever built the Mars Lander. A buddy of mine used an ink pen to fill in the little hatches and details on the embossed shrouds. Anyone else ever try this? His looked better at a distance than mine because of this but I was afraid to "color out of the lines" on mine. Any method to getting those details to stand out or just leave well enough alone? What are your opinions?


I used a pen / sharpie to draw in all the hatches,etc on mine, looked good, but then when clearcoated some bled slightly, but still looked ok.
model is gone ( sold the builtup one a while back, for more than Carls kit, actually, lol ), time to build a new one I guess :-)

Wow, and a cool Steve Naquin signature launch pad, too!
