EN : There he is, my Lunokhod 1 paper toy is finished ! At last !
Lunokhod 1 (Луноход 1) was a Soviet rover sent on the moon in 1970, it was the first remote controlled robot to roam on the surface of our satellite for eleven lunar days (321 Earth days) and traversed a total distance of 10,54km. It was an amazing achievement, and I just love the look of this thing, it's a shiny pot on wheels ! I'm working on this project since March, so i think I will not make any other paper toys for a time and focus on comics. I still have few ones to translate for you, and some others are on the drawing table.
Avalable as a PDF on my Shop and my Patreon.
FR : Maquette en papier à monter de l’astromobile soviétique Lunokhod 1. Lunokhod 1 (Луноход 1) à été envoyé sur la lune par l’URSS en 1970, c’est le premier véhicule télécommandé à rouler sur notre satellite, il y a fonctionné pendant onze jours lunaires (321 jours terrestres) et à parcouru 10.54 km. J’adore le look de ce pionnier de l’espace avec son couvercle pour le protéger des rudes nuits lunaires qui lui donne un air de de marmite à roulettes, et cette maquette est une façon de rendre hommage à un épisode peu connu du grand public de l’exploration de la lune.
Disponible sous forme de PDF sur ma boutique et sur mon Patreon.

Syrian Army ZSU-23-4 "Shilka" captured during the Yom Kippur War. It was supremely effective against Israeli helicopters and ground-attack aircraft, and earned the nickname "sewing machine".
Why did all computers up until...well, the early-mid 90s I guess come in that ghastly shade of nicotine yellow?
Seriously, the BBC Micro/some kind of Acorn thing I had to use in primary school (5 1/2 inch floppy boot disk included, now that shows my age if nothing else will) was the exact same shade.
