Mars lander "Phoenix"

[pcn]

Hi guys.

I found this model in the unfinished project folder and decided to finish it.

I have used NASAs Marslander Phoenix as reference but I havent copy it entired.

I'll put on som other unneccesary bits and bolts that the Phoenix doesnt have just for fun!

More to come.

Looks could, could do with some smoothing but I expect you know that!

Oh and ragupasta our resident wireframe monkey would like to see a wire

Where did you get them from? It'd nice to model something different after I've finished my swords and shield project


I like the detailing around the legs and spring. Was the spring an extruded spline?

No I used the spring that comes with Max and then converted it to a edit poly
