I used Renaissance Foil Copper on my NEAR a few years ago. I found that you need to paint to surface to be foiled a color similar to that of the Foil. Then...
I think that after we get the CEV and LSAM really rolling, we'd likely need another destination. Next could be an Near Earth Asteroid or Venus. Using similar...
Antoine, Thanks for sharing the photos. Very nice work. I can see why it takes so long. I particularly like the panel texturing on the back of the LM...
Gary, I've been watching the new Spacecraft Films Mercury set. On disk 3, with the MA test flights, there are several shots of the capsule being lowered onto...
While browsing at Michael's today I found some contact paper that might work well for applications where a smooth gold surface is required. The exposed sides...
I was just going over the MA-7 onboard audio (thanks Mark! Great stuff, and another fine use for the iPod). At about 13 minutes after launch there is a very...
I appreciate the correction... I had the sequence wrong in my head. How soon we forget. I like the Wiki! Good encapsulation for the refresher, and it makes...
Hi Mike, Sorry I don't have any information for your question, but I have been working my way through the marvelous Mercury DVD set as have many others in this...

Gee... you guys got yours. I pre-bought mine last Feb. and I still haven't gotten the DVDs. I e-mailed Mark, but he doesn't answer his e- mail very promptly....
... A good question. I can't recall seeing any antenna cannisters from any flown Mercury spacecraft in museums. It's likely in the Smithsonian's collections...
I'm sorry if I missed an email, I've had quite a few over the holidays... I usually try and reply as fast as I can. I'll add yours to the list that the my...
I think we have identified the footage as possibly from MA-3. This would explain much, including the mistaken labeling... but I'm open to other conclusions. I...
Thanks Mark. This is an exciting line of products and I can hardly wait to get it. I'm looking forward to getting your upcoming products. Your Liftoff Vol. II...

Linden Thank you for the feedback :) For the back of LM i just used thin plastic cards, and cut rectangles, glued on the Monogram original kit. It was not easy...
After retiring from the AF nearly 5 years ago and spending the interval working part time in a bike shop, I start a job that was too good to pass up tomorrow....
Good luck Gordon with your new job. I hope that NPOESS lives up to it's goals! ... From: space-modelers@yahoogroups.com on behalf of Gordon Fesenger Sent: Mon...
Hey, youse guyz... I was at an old hobby shop today and found a dusty old original Revell Shuttle Launch Gantry kit. 1/144. Box was very faded, crushed from ...
That's like four times what it cost way back when it was a brand new issue. If it is so dust covered, the hobby shop owner must have had it a LONG time. I'd...

IMHO, the (blue box) with just the tower is probably in the $75-100-125 range, and the full (black box) with shuttle is in the $125-175-225 range. Those...
(Sorry for posting this to the board. The address I use for Mark must be bad as it never generates a response). Another comment about the DVD set. I loved the...
Jenny: I have that kit, and I believe I speak for the rest of the group when I say that it's certainly not worth $150.00. The truth of the matter is that it's...
Antoine, I thought that looked like an Alclad II finish. I really like the stuff as well although it does take a little extra care. The dried finish is fairly...
As said here before, that would make a GREAT DVD set- the actual footage from the old newscasts of the mercury and Gemini as seen by us on our TVs- commercials...
That's a great idea. But when our high school premier choir snag and danced in the 75th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2001, our school photo person asked...
This might be old news, but the Mercury DVD set clearly exposes a painting error in the AC instructions. Scott indicates that the posigrade rockets on the...
