Dana- The problem you are having is due to several things. First, using a TAP product. They don't make anything, they buy in bulk from whoever and stick ...
Scott, I have never had any problems with white resin, even after several years of using the same product. I like the fact that it does not smell up my shop...
Thanks for all the replies so far, folks. I've learned more about the whole SDLV initiative than I knew before, so you've been helpful. I saw in one...
Great pic here of a mostly empty shuttle payload bay interior! It seems rare to get a good view of the back floor area, which is not curved like the rest of...
Hi Steve I did, a good few years ago when I built Endeavour in the first HST servicing mission configuration. Unfortunately I didn't know at the time about the...

Thanks Keith. I'm wondering what technique you used to replicate the padded areas between the payload bay ribs and end walls? I'm assuming they are padded...
Today FSM put up "hundreds" of photos from the Nationals. 3 were real space/sci fi. A Colonail Viper, the 1/32 Apollo, and the 1/72 LM. Not one of Ben's ...
Thank You Rick. I have an excellent book on George Lee's work- one should be lucky enough to strive to his level of expertise. BP ... look ... model to be ... ...
Hey there Ross, Any hopes of starting up J-2S peoduction inexpensively (inotherwords- with extant assembly equipment from the basic J-2) has been dashed since...
Mike, No- RS-68 is a very simple, in comparison, H2 engine to the SSME. It was designed from the ground up speciafically to get away from the SSME complexity...
In a message dated 8/1/2005 8:20:57 PM Eastern Standard Time, ... Bruce, that was exactly the point I was trying to make, that the RS-68 is a "simpler" engine...
Mike - It's quite possible that Ben didn't take his model over to their set-up to be photographed - which required carrying it to the other end of the model ...

Glenn: You were close on your first guess as to why FineScale Modeler did not post a photo of Ben's model. They did not have a picture of it! I was talking...
Maybe ... maybe not. At the Phoenix show I heard quiet a few people harumphing FSM's note to have their model photographed. They said "Oh sure, have it...
