Hi guys. I just uploaded some more pics to the folded entitled "Airfix shuttle modifications" and it details my work on the Airfix shuttle stack. Detailed in...
Robert, Those are great, thanks! For some reason, I can't always translate a 2-D into 3-D reality. The 3-D rendering really helped as well as being able to...
Just thought I'd post this question to the group members that have or are building the Apogee 1/70 scale Saturn V. Is the kit worth the expense and what does...
I'd like to thank the group for helping me find research references. You've all been very helpful. I'd also like to apologize for asking things I could have...

I'm looking to build 1/48th scale Gemini and Mercury models. I know that both Monogram and Revell made them in the past, but they are difficult to find. I...
Hey if you don't ask you'll never know. I've done the same thing and like you draw up nothing when all I had to do was go a little further or went right over...
Tom, I've had very good luck with Ebay in the past. Some kits you can find still factory sealed. (Apollo/Soyuz) (Gemini - 1/24) Used kits - just question the...
I got mine from buy.com: http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=31112528&loc=106 Price is $25.16, free shipping. :-) I actually buy most of my books from...
Even better, the back cover of the new X-15 book states that there will be another book (by Specialty Press) on the X-15: a Photo Scrapbook. Their website...
Hi Tom, E-mail me off group, there is a hobby shop here that has a kit or 2 of them. Let me know if you are interested and I will drop by there and pick one up...

Folk who have purchased my Saturn V and Apollo decals know the look of the printing and detail. Recently, a number of modelers have emailed me with questions...
Welcome to the group Sean, I've got both the Saturn-V and Saturn-1B models from Apogee and although I haven't finished building either yet I have to say that ...
I'm not sure how popular a suggestion this will be, but this works for me... I use normal car body aerosol primer. It creates a good matt surface which is...
You don't have to apologize, sometimes it's not that easy to find exactly the reference you need. I've been looking for shuttle references for quite a while...
I built one last summer. It took much longer than I thought, mainly due to sanding the cardboard tubes. I would buy it, then use sheets of styrene to wrap the...

Hi All, On page 62 of the latest issue of FSM (May), there is a model of RealSpace's 1/24 Viking Orbiter and Lander. Is the modeler, Matt Johnson, here? If...

I've seen the window in some Apollo videos; I'd have to go back and check the Spacecraft Films DVDs and some VHS tapes to be sure. Rick...
I have seen various sizes of hinges at my local model shop, some as tiny as a few mm long. I used one to allow my HST aperture door to open and shut. I think...

I have some good A17 BPC footage from the white room during pull back. I'll see if there is similar material on other missions that maybe didn't make the DVD...
I found a shot on the VHS tape of "On the Shoulders of Giants," the Apollo 17 docufilm. Not a lot of detail, but you can see a big round dark spot. Rick...
