Frank May's Lunar Prospector Custom

Frank May's Lunar Prospector Custom

Submitted 2007.05.01 by Frank May

When I sent pics of the Mobile Lunar Lab a while back, I mentioned it was based on one of my fav Golden Astronaut vehicles, the Mobile HQ, & that I had another in the works. Well, I finished it yesterday. Obviously, this one is scaled up from the GA Prospector. Hope y'all enjoy the pics.

John's Notes

The Triang MEV-2/Moon Prospector from Paul's site

Image above, the two variations of the Triang Explorer MEV2. (original UK release) known as the Moon Prospector in the Golden Astronaut line issued in the US. The toy is slightly over 3 inches in length and the inspiration of Frank's build. More info may be found on Paul Vreede's excellent Triang Space X Toys

You can write Frank about his amazing custom here, but please note that he built the Space Rover for his personal collection, and doesn't intend to offer any for sale.
