NEW Voyager model...
Guys,
I open this thread to show the WIP for Voyager and to collect any docs you may find interesting...
Here the actual state:

Here the actual state:
Dunno if this will be any use to you, but you might want to check out my POVray Voyager code:
http://www.evildrganymede.net/art/voyager/voyager.htm
I think it's pretty accurate, I used various photos and blueprints that I tracked down (and have subsequently lost of course...). If you want an idea of the proportions of the various parts then see if you can decipher the POV code... (though I've got some weird scaling multipliers in there that might make it confusing).
EDIT: The instruments map in the gallery has moved, the link is now at:

Tx Mal, I won't use any existing model, I prefer begining from scratch...
What a pity you lost the blue prints... No idea where they were coming from?

JLL, I think I have those links; here there is one or two shots in highres, the rest don't help much, I mean it's ok for the general idea (structure) but not enough to understand exactly the details (articulations, cables etc).
The problem seems that the good docs seems not to be referenced in google... it's a bit the same problem with Pioneer...
Tx anyway!

I understand you need a lot of photos to reach this level of details.
But curiously a lot of links to voyager's web pages are dead
and I can't find no new interesting document.
Hold on this good work !

I do what I can with what I have (I think I have collected all picts from google); I have also contacted a guy from Nasa (without result for now), then if I'm unable to find more picts, the last chance will be Franck...

I want to go... Massachusetts is too far, of course, not as far as Paraguay, but still... I've been all over this silly country and still haven't made it to Washington DC. Hmph.

Franck, Buggs, if you go, please shoot evrything not only Pioneer/Voyager, perhaps there are other models?
Other Models???
The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum has over 60 spacecraft on display, including the original Mercury Freedom 7 capsule, the Apollo 11 Command Module, models of Sputnik, Explorer and Mariner, a complete Lunar lander (the emergency backup), the complete "Enterprise" Space Shuttle, the Viking Lander on Mars, etc. You can examine the objects in their collection here:
http://www.nasm.si.edu/. Click on "Collections" and choose your category.
If there are other models that you need angled photos of, tell me and I'll do my best to get them. Some craft cannot be seen from all angles (the Enterprise can only be viewed from the ground standing next to it. The top is not visible).
Let me know what you're interested in. I aim to please
Frank

Ok, will have a look to their list; perhaps we can choose all together 1 or 2 other spacerafts, then your mission will be to shoot everything!!

Back to Voyager; I'm not in mood for tubes, so begining of the instruments...
