QUOTE (Tayfun Öner @ Apr 9 2006, 07:19 PM)  For a cost of about 10 globes you can buy a desktop milling machine and create your own 3d maps, here is my first model, Toutatis. What do you think Phil? It looks sorta... ...rude. Bob Shaw -------------------- Remember: Time Flies like the wind - but Fruit Flies like bananas!

A very nice model! I'd like to see more.

Yes - but except for Eros, all are based on radar shape data, often very low resolution. Itokawa, for instance, is the pre-Hayabusa radar shape. It would be really nice to see models of Gaspra, Ida and Mathilde from shapes at the PDS Small bodies node.

QUOTE (Tayfun Öner @ Apr 9 2006, 04:44 PM) Someone has even made commercial asteroid models http://serradesignsinc.com/ast_models.htm I recall when you could by a large, accurate model of Phobos for only $500. It looked like a big lump of coal to everyone else, but you alone would know that you have a cool, expensive, and accurate model of the largest moon of Mars. -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

Instead of millling the object itself, I will make moulds next time, if I can cast them successfully one copy for you Phil.

Not old maps of Mars, but a convenient source of Lunar maps. These appear to be largely A3 prints off of .PDF files, but are nevertheless good value if A3 colour printing isn't your thing! I recently bought the 44 sheet LAC set and was well satisfied for the price.
I wonder whether there's anything similar on the Mars front? Bob Shaw -------------------- Remember: Time Flies like the wind - but Fruit Flies like bananas!

I've written a few articles on mapping the planet Mars and its moons, Phobos & Deimos ... in fact Phil helped me out with some great MArtian Moons photos ... Contact me and I'll send You a .pdf version of those articles
