Custom Planetary Rover Explorer Paper Model - by Genet Models
Custom by James Catalano

My friend, the North American designer and modeler James Catalano created this very nice and original paper model of a Planetary Rover Explorer and kindly sent me a lot of photos of his work. 

He said: - "One of my other hobbies is making board games. I recently had an idea of making a board game out of a classic Atari 8-bit computer game called Koronis Rift. In the game, you drive around in your rover to find and loot various alien hulks. 

My papercraft rover is my version of the rover that the player would use in the game. The rover would be photographed to be turned into a simple paper box playing piece/token. And to be used in any title graphics for the game. 

My Custom Planetary Rover Explorer was created by "kit bashing" 3 different papercraft models. I don't have any instructions for this model, as it was put together on the fly. The many pictures I included may help someone make this and see where the various parts go. 

The 3 models that made up this Rover can be found for free at Genet Models (links at the end of this post)."

Meu amigo, o designer e modelista norte-americano James Catalano criou este modelo de papel super original de um Planetary Rover Explorer e gentilmente enviou-me um monte de fotos de seu trabalho. 

Ele disse: - "Um dos meus vários hobbies é criar jogos de tabuleiro Recentemente, tive a idéia de fazer um jogo de tabuleiro de um game de computador do clássico Atari 8-bit chamado Koronis Rift

No jogo, você pilota um Rover para encontrar e saquear várias arenas alienígenas. meu papercraft deste rover é a versão do veículo usado no jogo. 

Meu Planetary Rover Explorer personalizado foi criado fazendo um "kitbashing/mistura" de 3 modelos de papel diferentes. Eu não tenho instruções para este modelo, já que eu fui o montando ao acaso, mas as muitas fotos que eu incluí podem ajudar quem quiser tentar montar um. 

Os 3 modelos que compõem este Rover podem ser encontrados gratuitamente no site da Genet Models (links no final deste post)."
