Thanks Don & I agree with you that you don't see to many space models built but they are out there.
Incidently, I didn't notice it at the time but these pictures are before the final assembly of the base. I added a name plate made of clear acrylic plastic (from a CD cover) & photo copied the decal sheet from the Glenco Explorer 1 kit to put under it using brass screws to secure the plate in place on the wood base.
