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

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.
 
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:
 
Oh. Sorry to hear that.

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

Wow! That will be cool!
 
A long time ago there was a site spacecraftreplicas.com which had plans and parts for a Mercury spacecapsule in 1/4-scale.
Several parts I downloaded, but it appears I have lost or missed some.
TheWayback-Machine did help some, but not for all.

Anyone her who has them all and can help me to complete my stash?

Missing files:
Mainstructure.zip
Blk-panels.zip
Aft1.zip
Heatshield.zip

Or can they be found elswhere?
