I don't really like painting probes and rovers, it reminds me too much of engineering and geometry drawing, with all requirements on exactitude being a drag, but sometimes you have to go the extra mile 😉

this panel from the original Star Wars Marvel comic. The actual movie scene is so underwhelming compared to this 😀
