A few years ago (2011), Ken L. West designed a magnificent model of the Apollo command module, which I hastened to buy as soon as it was made available. Since then I have never built it believing it beyond my abilities. But this year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the moon landing and I would...

Monday the 26th of November the probe Insight is scheduled to land on Mars. I discovered that around the landing, two small cubesats, launched on the same missile of Insight, will relay status information about the lander's descent and touchdown. ( see this animation ) I found here (...

After starting and then hanging out a model of UHU02 ( the Orion III model ), I decided to try again with something simpler, or at least I hope so. So I started to build the model of the starship protagonist of the movie Interstellar, the Endurance designed by UHU02...

I don’t know if it is the right place, here. Indeed the subject could seem fictional, but in realty it’s at the roots of the modern spaceflight. When I was looking for documentation about my project TWA Moonliner , I was fascinated by the story I found here ( The Great 1952 Space Program...

I started the build of the Falcon 9 in the landed configuration. It's HUGE!. Ok It isn't at same scale but considering the Moonliner at 1/72 and the Falcon at 1/100 it should be even bigger at the same scale of the old missile. I found this picture that depicts the operations at the port and...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hi to all, i'd like to share my last build. Some year ago i bought the Gemini Project from Delta 7 Studios and this was one of my first paper models. The design is good, but my build was not so good, and what's more, I would like to improve some detail, and reduce the scale. The original...

Hi to all. As promised, a few months ago I started working on the Fat Man project. Sorry for the delay in updating you about on the progresses i've made, but I already difficult to manage a thread, then two are beyond me. Now that the project is near the completion, I can show You the main...

It's almost six years that I'm member here, but I mainly posted at pm.com in the last time. Recently Zathros invited me and I'm here now to present my last project. All started from some book I read about the history of the atomic bomb. The argument triggered my curiosity and i begun to...

I just completed the Skipjack model that I started long time ago, and I worked at It discontinuously. Here some picture I took during the process. When I arrived at to put the bow in place, I found that It was too much stubby, so I looked for more documentation because I'd like to make...
