I decided to build the model at half size. About the final scale I found that there's a problem because the rocket at Disneyland is also a model, at 1/3 of the missile envisioned so: the missile at Disneyland was 80 feet tall (near 24 meters ) the missile envisioned could be 240 feet tall (...

Hi to all. It's long time that I have post my last built, but finally I restarted modeling and I'd like to share with you what I did in the last month. Last december i looked at the first landing of the Falcon 9. It was an astonishing spectacle and a great achievement. It recalled to my memory...

Happy birthday John :toast:

... To properly show this magnificence in an exhibition , I hope

I just completed the S.55x model I bought from Bruno Vanhecke. Here some picture of the building process. Here some problem with the left wing. All the engine components ready to assemble. I worked on the lattice of engine support for give a round shape to the strut. Just a dry fit...

Beautiful work Tonino, as usual. I think the little astronaut will be a pretty add-on for your master piece. I did it some time ago, with some enhancements, between them the Hasselblad. Julius kindly hosted my design and you can download it here. Here my little astronaut with enhancements...

@ sjsquirrel, Space Boy, mspacemike, SonOfAGun2501, mcusanelli, DanBKing: Thank You guys for your kind words. I'm very happy to see that this old model (november 2013) can arouse some interest. Thanks zathros, but you shouldn't be intimidated by the model. The original one is at 1/24 scale...

In my opinion definitely the third option. In my mini-LM I hardened the weak parts using cyanoacrylic glue. The parts then was strength enough to easy manipulate them and to support relatively heavy loads. They are more similar to plastic parts. An alternative could be to put between the two...

I sent an email to the Club and they soon and kindly answered to me sending the model I requested. "Hi Ferdinando, Thank you for visiting our website. I send paper models to you. Please enjoy them. You can request any model by an email. Thank you, Mic-chan"

Thanks DanBKing, Paper air and Zathros! Tonino, I downloaded the model in the past, when, by chance, it was available. But in the upper side of the page that i linked, there is a link to an email address. The policy of the site is to make available only the last model, but you can write an...

Some time ago i found the site of Tokyo Solid Model Club with a bunch of jet models at 1/72 scale. Between others I found the F-104 ASA of the AMI (Aeronautica Militare Italiana) and I downloaded it, planning to build it some day. After long time and after i completed my LM, I printed the model...

Well, in the end they wanted to reward me with the plate "the Best" in the category "paper models". A club of the contest organizers wanted to reward the model by creating a category not provided for in the competition: "real space". :eek: I am very pleased with the comments that I have gathered...

Nando submitted a new resource: Apollo Astronaut 1/96 scale - Just a small and simple guy you could put near Your Astronautic Subjects. Vector graph scalable Read more about this resource...

Thanks zathros for the hints. I put my file in the "Resource" area as you suggested. I hope i did everything right. In the mean time my little LM is sitting between other models in a exhibition near my town, and I collected some appreciation there too. Best, Nando

mcusanelli, RonaldoM, thanks for the kind comments. Tonino for the antennas I used a plastic wire that i found in a hobby store. You can see it in the picture below. I also put, near the wire, the pin that I used for simulate the rounded helmet. Yes the astronaut is a my original design, i can...

I wasn't satisfied for the astronaut, too simple and crude. So i did some improvement. More graphics on the chest, on the back-pack, on the arms and legs, gloves and hands, shoes, pockets and tubes. Here some pics. And now, ladies and gentlemens, the model is completed...

Thanks Zathros, Cybergrinder and Tonino for your kind comments. Tonino there are a lot of details that are a true challenge. See the VHF Antennas S-Band Antenna and Radar Rendezvous Antenna Tonino, your UHU LM is a true masterpiece and I'd like to build it in the future. I...

Hi to all, it is long time that i didn't share something in this forum. But I didn't have many things to share, because I had had a long pause period in modeling. Now i completed a project that i started in november of 2013 (!). Then i liked to build a model of the Apollo Lunar Module starting...

Sorry I have to repost for some misterious accident in the previous one. Yes, there is an Italian member here, at least one more, but not very active in the last period. I am from Turin and I'm here from seven years. My compliments for your skill and dedication and for the serious work of...
