Surveyor III Diorama - Update

Here's how far I've gotten on the diorama so far, removed the large crater rim, realized the probe's scoop arm will be in that area. The probe is made out of 1mm (0.04") diameter plastic rods. Will finish up the landing gear, and then move on to the equipment, the main structure also needs a few bits added before putting on the equipment.

Nice... Hey the feets look like wooden pegs that you buy to hide screw holes for furniture. Is that it?

Did you found another drawing view than the one link I've send you ?

No I made the landing pads out of a 6mm diameter wooden rod, sawed off each indiviual piece and sandpapered the bottom for the right pad shape.

Sadly the topdown view is all I have to work with in the way of schematics, so been eyeballing from pictures for side view when it comes to height. So just working with the schematic you found for me (thanks again).
