I noticed these on ebay, and they look great. Just wondering what you guys think of them. Anyone have one? |

RTM looks to be the same, or a reseller for, Toys and Models Corporation (previously known as TMC Pacific). Some prior discussions: |

I bought my first two. The Mercury 7 capsule, and Gemini IV. They are shipping now. I plan to get Apollo 11 soon. |

I just got my Gemini IV base back from the McDivit signing at NovaSpace. I have to admit the signature in gold looks pretty good. I also have the LM, the Apollo 11 and the Mercury Friendship 7 models. Now if I can get Senator Glenn to autograph the mercury, Maybe Cernan to autograph this last LM and for the 11, if Mr. Collins will do one more mail in signing.... |

Did you get the actual stand holding the capsule autographed or a display base? I have the Gemini McDivitt signed display base autographed. However I was thinking about getting other Gemini astronaut autographs on each side of the capsule stand and was curious as if there was enough room. |

There was plenty of room on the side. McDivitt signed his name, added Cdr and even the date. It looks very nice. |

Does anyone know of an economical source of acrylic display stands for the TMC capsules? I can only find cases that cost 50 bucks and more... |
