SCALED MODEL of the Sky-watcher collapsible

[Nikolai De Silva]

Waiting for the skies to get clear! 🙄🔭

Started yesterday in the evening and finished just now. A handmade scaled model of the Sky-watcher 16 inch collapsible tube. Made all from WASTE. My second model Telescope and didn't cost any! Making till the skies get clear!

Things used;

• Two old tins
• Three finished ballpoint pen ink cartridges
• Old aluminium sheet (Printing plates)
• Paper
• Glue
• Two mirrors, one big and another small that can be cut (Not concaved😁)
• Little Lego pieces (like for the eyepiece)

Time spent - 10 Hours

Actual size;

• Diameter of the Primary Mirror - 65mm 
• Length of the tube - 22cm

 

Hoping for comments 😊

Nice model, I am about to start converting a 1:1 scale version into an Obsession style   truss tube Dob, a project also partly driven by the continual cloud cover.

That looks good! Excellent modelling skills.

Now, if only a full size one was as easy to carry!

Regards, Mike.

I love the shot next to the cup and beside your Newtonian. Lovely model.

This is how it was when I started.

That is cute, and I see your model does have mirrors.
