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...

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...

From Paper-Replika

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

Like the title says folks. Also, this year, I have new location, which is the office I have set up in my great grandmother's old house. Models used: Kitbashes Saturn II Saturn SSTO Erik te Groen Mars Rover (redone by Ton Noteboom) MER Delta II Delta 7 Studios Atlas...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

This model is loosley inspired by the McDonnell Douglas SASSTO Concept and a model by Mike Robel. It's made out of cardstock and wood, utilising components from Ton Noteboom's Saturn V. It's also thhe first model I built with the Huntsville Plastic Modeling Society. Following the...

I've always thought that Saturn II was an interesting rocket that is rarely modeled in any medium. Sorry if it looks a bit rough, I built in about 3 1/2 hours last Friday. I used parts from ton's Saturn 1B, Saturn V, Skylab and the Delta 7 Titan III.

One of the models I completed over the weekend. The weather at Guntersville State Park was deplorable so I spent most of my time in my family's RV. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j240/OV-104/FILE0076.jpg http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j240/OV-104/FILE0078.jpg...

I built this one over the weekend along with Enterprise and the VF-1J. I was going for a "rocket park"-like setting to show off the stage seperation. It's from the Delta 7 studios Gemini collection. I think I may redo the main thrust structure, replacing it with Ton Noteboom's, because I'm not...

This is from the same batch of models asthe VF-1J that I took to work on while camping this weekend. The first image shows where I tried to reinforce the skeleton with cardboard formers. In addition to featuring the AXM Enterprise, it also features Richard De Vries tailcone, which I accidently...

To unwind from the first week back in class, I thought I'd give Yogi's Skylab a shot. Also, tonight was the "Tired of Winter Dance" which I did got to this time for a while. Also, I did a quick and dirty repaint on Ton's CSM to more resemble the Skylab CSM and instead of cutting out and gluing...
