Metal Earth Model – Chandra X-Ray Observatory

My 25th Metal Earth build. Here’s a link to an excellent site about the real thing and the astrophysicist it’s named after.

This model had something I’ve been wanting from an ME kit: the trickiest part of the assembly was at the beginning. Sure, there’s a stage at the end where eight pins have to fit in place at once. But the tough part was getting the B4 and B5 pieces to bend and attach correctly. I also ended up putting on A29 sideways, which I didn’t notice until it was too late to do anything about it.

Otherwise this was a straightforward, relaxing assembly.
