Bus mock up. I started with nothing but pictures from the web. The only dimension I knew for sure was the golden record, and from that I was able to figure out the rest, with surprising accuracy. I later found some original JPL blueprints, and discovered how close I was. I also discovered some grave errors, including the fact that the bus is a decagon, not a do-decagon (again, I was relying on pics from the web, which only showed a few angles. I had to match details seen the various angles to figure out how many sides there were. I failed...) Had to rebuild it. No pics of that, but the process was identical to these shots.
