UPDATED with more photos and video This is the new 1/72 Apollo 11 Saturn V from Dragon. This is a huge kit and comes with a ton of pieces. Unlike the prebuilt kit, this kit comes with the complete LM along with the CSM. Also the LM adapter is clear so you can see the [more]
Just thought you would like to see the finished product of the Revell 1/32 scale kit with the New Ware photo etched and resin astronauts I purchased from CultTVman. Steve Carricato
WIP pictures of 1:32 CSM Apollo 17. Getting closer to having it finished. I am adding a photo etched cockpit with resin astronauts. Hope you like it. Steven Carricato
The Shenzhou spacecraft appears similar to the Russian Soyuz, but is different in dimensions (slightly larger and heavier) and does not seem to use any detailed parts copied from the Soyuz or built under license. Therefore although it follows the classic layout of the Soyuz, adopts many of the same technical solutions, and the re-entry [more]
I just got through with the Gemini 3 spacecraft. I like the package that was sent to me from Real Space Models. The people did magnificent work and details of the Gemini Exterior Detail Set. You can contact them at www.realspacemodels.com. I put the details with no problem. I had to use crazy glue to [more]
Here’s a project I fiddled with over the last two hurricanes, it’s a toy figure of Apollo 12 astronaut Alan Bean made by Bandai, it’s about 6 inches tall. I didn’t think it looked too great as is, so decided to fine tune it a bit. I puttied the huge gaps at his articulated legs [more]
Here I have a few pictures of my 120 mm Alan Shepard from Reheat Models. I modified a few details, like the OPS. Check list in the cuff. The hosts connections an the RCU unit in the chest. I also painted the visor to simulate the reflection of the lunar terrain. I was inspired by [more]
I finally built my first model in about six years – Monogram’s Tranquility Base. Jim Brooks
I finished another build, the 1965 Gemini Spacecraft 1/24 scale model by Revell. Nice kit out of the box! Steven Carricato
Here are a couple of shots of my 1/12 scale Revell Gemini Astronaut taken with my Casio digital camera. My wife picked out the star background material at Walmart. The picture doesn’t show the metallic red and blue cuffs where the gloves join the suit very well, maybe I’ll get some better pictures later. I [more]
I’m attaching four images of the two Dragon figures I have. The plain vanilla figure (standing in for Ed Mitchell) is the Buzz Aldrin while the modified/Al Shepard astronaut was converted using Chris’ kit from EVA. The dirt on the suit is what sells it, I think. Jim Brooks
This is the Monogram 1/32 scale CSM model, the only commercially-produced kit of the Block II Apollo spacecraft. The kit is really very accurate out of the box, but I wanted to build it this time around without the clear section that allows you to look into the Command and Service Modules. Unfortunately, this [more]
This model was featured in the On The Bench section recently. Here are some photos of the completed Pilgrim Observer. I was able to incorporate some of the cool Paragrafix photo etched brass into the model and it added a lot to it’s visual dimension. You can clearly see the figures in the ports and [more]
These are photos of me and some of my model work currently on display as part of the “One Small Step” exhibition at the University of Delaware museum gallery in Newark, Delaware. This exhibition, under the directorship of Ms Belena Chapp, is a display of art, artifacts and actual hardware components used in the space [more]
This is a couple of variants on the Revell 1/48 Gemini Capsule. The first item is based on a SF movie made in the 60′s, with James Caan attempting to rescue some stranded cosmonauts on the surface of the moon. What made the movie interesting was the use of credible technology from the period — [more]
