    The only thing that is going to be movable will be the main body on the pelvis section, you'll be able to pivot the main body on the hips. However..this thing is so big, with a little patience and design and engineering you would deffenantly have a good foundation to make it possible.

    Moving right along. Every thing going together well. No problems with parts fitting together or structural integrity.

    Fore arm armament complete, every thing went smooth for the most part. A few typical paper model snags, the first three pics show assembling the front cone, it was a bit big but an easy fix. In gluing parts like these together I do it in segments, by putting a split in the ring then over...

    Building the MAS the second time went much easier...a heads-up for other builders, when building the MAS it consist of four pieces, the main part #'s 53,58 and three other parts, #'s 56,57,59. I highly recommend assembling the latter into one part then glueing this completed part to the main...

    Slow going...I only have about 1 1/2- 2 hours a day to work but still making progress. Alfadoc mentioned having a slite problem with the fit of the main arm structure into the fore arm, taking this into account I made sure to build the MAS first then the rings that fit around it... good thing. I...

    Alfadoc recently built Julius's Ed-209 and I liked it so much I knew I had to build it. I had been watching the design postings as they were being added, as soon as it was complete I downloaded it but had to sit on them a while as I was finnishing another big project. I thought I'd go into a...

    Model of the Week: Another 1/4 scale Merc..the journey begins

    A 1/4 shuttle!!!!! WHOA, I'd have to build that in the back yard, I think my wife would have me committed if I started on something like that. PaperAir has talked about designing a 1/4 Gemini next and posting files around December and moving on to a 1/4 Apollo cm.

    Model of the Week: Another 1/4 scale Merc..the journey begins

    Hey PK I stand corrected, it's Tone Noteboom's 1/24 Gemini, and I've already started on it. The size difference between the Gemini and the Merc is incredible, the reason I say this is Paperair mentioned designing one in 1/4 and posting the files,,wooohooo another gargantuan!

    Model of the Week: Another 1/4 scale Merc..the journey begins

    Whoa! A 1/4 Gemini, where would I ever put it? After five months of build time on the Merc (and being out of work for three of those five) hey why not, it would look great sitting next to the Merc. A Gemini capsule is twice the size of the Merc, it would be huge. I do plan on taking a break on...
