    F3D Sky"night" and Mig Mad Marine

    These are a couple of models that I've done over the Thanksgiving Holiday: Oddball Productions F3D Skynight. I'll take some daytime photos later, but I thought it might be fun to try some night shots, since this is a night fighter after all. Like the F-86, the canopy is Duck brand packing...

    Curiosity

    This is my build of Retired-For-Now's MSL-better known as "Curiosity". I believe this is the longest a paper model has taken me to complete, as I started back in January and finished last night. Here it is on "Mars", which is actually a patch of dirt near my dad's body shop that I leveled off...

    Model Of The Month: New Horizons Atlas V

    This my beta build of a forthcoming kit from Retired For Now (I thought the Zealot folks might want to see it that aren't at papermodelers) Anyway It's also designed to fly on a cluster of 2 18mm model rocket engines.

    Craig Windley

    A repaint I did of Julius Perdana's Astronaut intended as a companion piece to Retired For Now's Curiosity. It's based on a character (Craig Windley) from my "To the Moon, Mars, and Beyond" series while commander of the Orion 27 mission to Mawrth Vallis.

    Lunar Dragon

    Thanks to the snow storm in North Alabama, UAH was closed for Monday and Tuesday and I decided that, with the time off, I'd tackle a project I've been meaning to do for some time. I modified Yogi's Falcon 9 kit by creating an Earth Departure stage and booster nose cones from the large diameter...

    Apollo Astronaut Figure

    The Paper Replika Astronaut kit I built over fall break this year and redid Tuesday. I used a mirror-finish plastic Christmas Ornament for the visor and sticks from half a dozen sucker sticks for the hoses and connectors.

    Model Of The Month: Convair B-74 Sprinter

    This my interpretation of what an operational XAB-1 would look like; it's based on Tekzo's kit. I replaced the parasite fighters with a stinger and added some SAC stripes to the nose. I was trying for a "Dr. Stangelove" look with the photos.

    Gemini Space Craft

    This actually the Delta 7 Gemini 6 kit, but I tried to keep the build as generic as possible to represent just a general Gemini. I left off the starboard hatch to show off the ship's interior. This also one of the models I've built with the Huntsville Plastic Modeling Society.

    Mars Exploration Rover-Delta II

    This the second I've done that's had its start at Huntsville Plastic Modeling Society Mad Model Party. It laid partially completed for most of August until I finally got a chance to work on it during labor day weekend. The University Fitness Center and Delta Chi house is visible...

    Falcon 9 Flight 1

    I built this in about 5 hours yesterday as part of my new rocket garden for my dorm at UAH (The old one's in my office). It's Yogi's F9 with the flight 1 repaint. The stand is just a cylinder made of black card stock. This is the third build of Yogi's Falcon 9 that I've done, the...

    Liberty Bell 7

    I always thought it would be cool to have Ares 1X ( with a new USS of course) in the traffic circle at UAH. Even though it's mostly wishful thinking, the roll control system was built across the street from campus at Teledyne-Brown.

    Apollo Recovery

    My build up of Gary Pilsworth's excellent SH-3 Sea King. I deviated from the original kit by cutting out the windows and replacing them with clear Ducktape and some green plastic I found at Hobby Lobby. I also used some matte black cardstock for the rotor blades. I replaced the kit's CM with the...

    Liberty Bell 7

    One fateful day back in 2002 I ran across the Delta 7 studios website while doing a Google search for Mercury Redstone model. I thought "free? how how can this be, nothing's free." I printed out them pattern, started cutting and gluing, and the rest was history. While on vacation in Destin...
