Nice collection! Regarding the Buran tile; what was the source/supplier and when did you acquire it? I haven't seen many examples out in the market. |

Trust me, there is enough space to work, indeed the problem is more seen at my home... quote:

I'll got it from a friend of mine who travelled to Baikonur and took the tile from Buran's wreckage. It has been some years ago and he took a few tiles while nobody really cared about the wrackage... till today.
