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

[inky]

You are a man after my own heart, I have always wanted to build a 1:1 Mercury capsule but was scared to. Now that I see yours I might just have to rethink it and build one for myself.

You are doing a great job, keep up the good work.

Beautiful build!

I would recommend offering to loan it to a museum for display (and hopefully some promotion).

Great build.

I wish I found this thread 6 months ago. I am also building this model. I had to fabricate many parts on my own. This would of been a great reference source.
AWESOME!!! :inw:

I see the last post here was four years ago. I hope this hasn't been abandoned...

 

[PaperAir]

yes i abandoned this due to space and money

 

[POTKC]

Oh. Sorry to hear that.

Did you build anything else after the last post, or is the it?

 

[PaperAir]

that was it on this one.

If you still have it, you could probably sell it. It would save a lot of time for a prospective builder.

Hi All I,m going to attept Scott,s 1/4 scale Mercury Capsule in 1-1 scale in paper.I,ve gone back and forth with Scott on the sizing I,m getting from my printer and I,m within an inch to true scale.Thats close enough if for me.I will be starting off with the smaller parts of the model and as space opens up for me when I move this spring I,ll get to the main body.The over all size will be 6ft 10 high and 6 ft 2 wide.I started the panel and a simple 1 page is taking on a life of it,s own.View attachment 95760
