42182 NASA Apollo Lunar Rover

If anyone is interested, the 31152 Astronaut fits the LRV with a bit of adapting of the legs. I shortened the lower legs by 3 studs. I always thought the legs were way too long on this set.

Great idea. Maybe, when you shorten the leg, you also should shorten the upperbody.

 

Still it looks nice!

 That makes the set look a whole lot better!! 
just gotta fix that satellite dish now.

Here are some basic alternate for the parabolic antenna.

 

Her is one of the alternates on the moon..

 

Credit for the basic model where credit is due..

Part no 11957 offroad bike tire(last release is 2019) for that bike wheel is same size 100.6 with this set. Both are same offroad tire, I think we can see offroad bike with that tire.

@R0Sch Thanks for the basic io file. I finished it model.

Had to make some "alternatives" for the missing parts. Plus did some work around for the rubber parts... Also put the model on more tilted stand. 

Still had a lot of fun.

 

 

By the way: does anyone know what that thingie with the yellow rubber bands is suppose to be?

It’s the antenna for the Surface Electrical Properties (SEP)  experiment package. It’s carried only on Apollo 17. You can see it in this document on page 12.

@lcvisser Thanks. That helps a lot.

@JunkstyleGio You're welcome! Check back in a week or so, and the new tires and mudguards should be available on ldraw.org too. 84772 is already available.

Thanks!

I extended the wheelbase a bit so the astronaut fits better. There's now also room for a backpack.
