Artemis - Parts Bag #3 !

 The third bag of elements in this set contains even more Technic parts.

Of course it should - it is, after all, a Technic set!

Also required in this part of the build is the included sticker sheet.

Bag 3 builds out a few more areas of the model's base.

First, a series of black beams and pins forms the top of the base attachment at the back.

Next, the hand crank is installed into the right side of the base and attached to the gear train via a pair of universal joints. 

On turning the crank, it was noted that one of the red gears in the train at the left would lift slightly and disengage from its driver. It served as sort of a clutch mechanism in one direction.

In pondering this, I surmised that, when the crank was turned to lower the rocket and it's components back to starting position, it didn't require as much torque as when the crank was turned in the lifting direction. 

Interesting design.

Finally, the parts that make up the name plaque are installed at the front of the base, including an adhesive sticker.

Here is a shot of the build up to this point.

More to come - bag 4!
