I have some early contractors prototype models of the Space Shuttle and a few space station proposals.

Looking for info on a few of them. One might be MOL or Skylab, clear body with detailed interior, fitted case (big) and a date of 1968. Another is a huge cube shaped, metal trussed structure. They are missing some parts and I'm trying to find out what they looked like. Martin Marietta, North American, McDonnell Douglas and General Dynamics are the makers.

One of the shuttle models is the monster McD phase B High Cross Range prototype that was on Ebay several weeks back.

I'd like to post a few images just to see if anyone might have any ideas (plus, they're COOL!)

Thanks, Jerry

Wow...!

Your models are truly spectacular. They appear to be of the Manned Orbital Lab timeframe, yet ther were so many different studies done at that time that I would not be able to identify exactly what yours may be - sorry.

I love that they have a chair in early space models...!
