Golden Astronaut: Resupply Misssion Pt 2

Re-supplying the outer moons and planets has to start somewhere. here a fleet of NOVA rockets are loaded and ready to start the ball rolling. They'll land at one of several destinations with established ports and supply depots and their cargo unloaded. The cargo will then be sorted at the distribution hub and transferred to smaller ships for transport to the outer moons and worlds. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

I have to say this series was a tad dissappointing. My fault really. I've been wanting to install a scenic backdrop on my runway shelf layout for some time. That way the scene would have more impact - more 'oomph'. I do have the photo murals out in The Cave but just haven't gotten around to installing them yet. 

 I bought something like five of the G.I. Joe launch pads sepceficially for use with these NOVA rockets and whatever else would fit. So as a series of 'proof-of-concept' pix these do well enough. The next thing to tackle?  Besides the backdrop, trying to achieve more of a sense of distance between the runway and the pads - hard to do in only 12" (30.48cm) of space.

Marx radar from their Jetport playset, G.I. Joe launch pads, Golden Astronaut NOVA rockets, and a Dillon-Beck Wannatoy futurist car round out the toys in this shot

Flash Gordon has settled down and is now a high ranking GS (Galaxy Space Fleet) Civilian. He's here somewhere on the tarmac inspecting the next fleet of rockets
