mike r hubble model Toggle navigation

for my term project i built a 1:48 scale model of the Hubble telescope. using the printouts on card stock i assembled the model. it wasn’t difficult, and was very fun to build. i learned a few terms and parts of this telescopes but couldn’t get much on exactly how it works or what certain sections and parts are specifically for, from this model. it only took about 4 hours to build and finish with a clear coat. i do wish it could have been a little harder. there was a expert model, but with a build time of 30 hours, i couldn’t schedule enough time for that.
