    Model Of The Month: 1/4 Scale Mercury Capsule: Done 1/1 Scale

    :eek: If I tried something like this, my fiancée would kick me out of the house. (It would be SO worth it, though.) This is, truly, one of the greatest project ideas EVER.

    UHU02 new project

    This is honestly the most detailed model he's made yet -- and I'm building Discovery right now. :D I wondered that myself. According to a source I read (somewhere...:confused:), in the 2001 universe, Discovery's command module was built by the same people who built the Aries and was based...

    Saturn V Main Engines

    Very nice work! I still need to get back on top of my model -- I only have three and a half main engines done, and I haven't even started on the stage itself. :)

    My Discovery (uhu02) build

    Thank you for the kind words. I would love to see the interior again. I saw your prototype of the centrifuge and it was wonderful. It is a shame that it was lost. Thank you again for all the wonderful designs. I am eagerly awaiting the opportunity to build Aries 1-B!

    UHU02 new project

    Those legs and engines are spectacular. I can't wait to see what the cabin holds...

    My Discovery (uhu02) build

    He has done superb work! I only hope that mine turns out looking as good as his did.

    My Discovery (uhu02) build

    Oh, it's a satisfying build. The part that trips people up is the spine and the "nuts". It can get repetitive -- pace yourself! Once done, though, the rest is only moderate difficulty and well within the reach of any experienced modeler. Hopefully I'll be done very soon.

    UHU02 new project

    Hmm. I wonder if this is at the same scale as his Discovery model -- if so, it will make a good display, since the two were never together on the screen to compare their sizes.

    My Discovery (uhu02) build

    I know, I know -- it's been a while. I'm not done with the model by any means, but there is progress. The spine needs its fuel modules and the back end needs engines, and the area just aft of the command module sphere (actually an emergency rocket system) is only a prototype...

    UHU02 new project

    Heck, I'm still working on Discovery! :D Hopefully that will be finished in a few weeks so I can start this one as well.

    UHU02 Enterprise

    Very nice! The curves are just perfect. I can only hope I'll be able to hide the seams so well. :D Where is this one being hosted?

    UHU02's Valley Forge

    Outstanding! UHU, you have done what seemed to be impossible, again! I've already been asked by some of my family when I'm going to get started with it. :D

    Where are the Marscenter models?

    I'll have to take a look tomorrow on my other computer. I should have the new site's address in there. I can't seem to figure out how I located it the other day now that I'm trying to find it again. I just downloaded the parts to build Endeavour about three days ago.

    Voyager Spacecraft 1/24

    It's taken me longer to get on top of the build, due to unforeseen events. I am back now, and should be moving along faster now. I was going to head toward the PWS mount next, but strayed a bit to the interstage connection struts. The kit parts are flat parts meant to be mounted to 1 mm card...

    Voyager Spacecraft 1/24

    Tank half done: Tank mounted inside bus. I decided it looked decent enough to go on the model. I was concerned about my skills at this point, but printing the parts on black cardstock hides any imperfections quite nicely. Incidentally, it also makes the pieces very hard to see in order...
