Description

This time back to vintage "what if" spacecrafts (I really like this theme)! Convair Manned Lunar Reconnaissance Vehicle In 1958 inspired German-born rocket engineer Krafft Ehricke, working for Convair areospace company, designed a Manned Lunar Reconnaisance Vehicle. The design was popularised as an official scale plastic model by Strombecker in 1958. The Lunar Reconnaissance Vehicle was a fully powered spacecraft, one capable of leaving Earth's orbit. Its mission: To chart the lunar surface in preparation for a manned moon landing. This is my 3D replica of the original model kit box with the actual grapic layout and writings. I try to reproduce the original vintage feel and palette. I give you as a wallpaper gift in 1440x627, so open it in FULL-SIZE... I hope you like it! :) Rendered and modelled with custom textures in Bryce 7, postwork with Photoshop 7 and Dynamic-Photo HDR. The original file is 4000x1742 pixels.

Excellent image. I have this and all the other Glencoe versions of the model waiting to be built - one day.

Superb job! I remember this well, because that little plexiglass canopy always made me laugh. You have certainly done justice to the original. Bravo, my friend!
