Shingles going on.

Hey Scott,, long time no hear. That sounds great, I would certanly like to have the good shingles with the realistic dimplesbut I must say I haven't heard from you in so long I thought maybe more important things had arisen, so don't go over to papermodelers there's alot more on this over there...

Heat sheild and thruster pack complete.

Looking great. I'm almost finnished with the heat shield it's comming together nicely should be posting pics soon. Did you finish the bulkhead detailing and wiring? I couldn't see it in the pics.

This looks really great, I wanted to build mine this way but I wanted to be able to attach all the stages together. I couldn't see a way to do both, I actually made locking tabs that hang down into the top part of the stage below, you actually place the stage above into the one below and turn it...

:needpics: I've just been waiting for an excuse to use this!

Another masterpiece there Leon...love your work bud.

Thruster pack done. A little scale comparison.

Hey Merzo....Nice pics, that turned out good, I would have never thought of doing it like that....even if I did I wouldn't have the pateince for it. You say it was a long time ago? After seeing your soyuz launch pad I can see the talent and imagination in early building. You should post more...

Yea..mine is a 93 Chevy 1500...18 years old, and parts were cheap, wiper motor alone was 60 bucks. But hey it's got 225,000 mi on it and it runs like a champ, doesn't leak or burn oil, I got 210,000 on the factory trans. Did you bake the clay for the controll handels or just let it dry naturally?

Really cool. Didn't get any time to build this weekend, spent all day today wernching on my truck, breaks, wipre motor, ect. Thik posting pics of this would be acceptable here?

Wow...I'm re-inspired. I'm giong to finish the thruster pack then get back on the seat. Really looking great.

AH, now I see. I did ramp up the scale of this couch once already. Thanks for the build pics, now it makes sense. When I did it I went to 600%, how much did you jack it up? Have you tried the control arms yet? If you do, post some build pics, I know it's a pain posting photos here, some times I...

WHOOOAAAA......Where did you find this? This is exactly what I've been trying to build from scratch, mine looks almost identical, but not quite. I also have Surfduke's sigma 7 model and have tried to scale it up but couldn't figure out how to assemble it. You say this is already scaled up and...

Boy...those shingles really bring that thing to life. Scott said he'd send me some, I haven't seen them yet, i'm really getting the itch to put them on. What are you using for the rivits?

Hey Paul I used the thruster pack from Ton's 1/24 scale merc model and jacked up the size to 600%. It pixilates really bad but with a ruler, pencil, and some sharpies that can be fixed. I think it's actually going to turn out good. Serfduke has a really nicely detailed sigma 7 merc model in...

Did a little work on the couch, lost my inspiration so I set it aside for now and went to work on the thrusterpack.

Hey Paul Things are looking great. i found a job...been too busy to build and post. Did you make these shingles? It looks like the dimples are some sort of flat shiny black plastic. Whats the scoop?

wiring the bulk head

Hey ovation how about some pics, I would like to see some others that are working on this model. Here are some more bulk head detail.
