The plating of the copper layer and silver is done by electroplating. |

Wow, the astronaut crew and couches look incredible!!! That is what I like about your work Pascal, you not only do the big stuff well, but also the little touches (subtle wash on the suits to pop out details, and the silver snaps on the pockets). I consider myself a good modeler, but you put my stuff to shame (in a very good way that I like). |

The wall base for the 1/48 Voyager wall diorama is done. It's a simple wooden piece put it in primer, paint and then nice artistic spray with the spray can and see there "deep space with galaxy clouds," stars for the Voyager probe.  And now further dressing...

The wall diorama is ready, the Voyager model is place in space, It looks great!   
 
For me mission complete, but the Voyager go on... I will now continue with the Apollo John Young diorama: the spaghetti incident. |

Pascal you have done it again. I really like your imagination were you used an old lamp and turned it into a work of art.I also really like the mixture of colours used in this project. Keep them coming. |

Amazing display! But, I am curious why you chose the colors of the probe that you did? I thought she was basically black and white! |

Thanks people. I have did it also paint in black and white but give to a touch gold over the boom and hardware otherwise you see nothing more related to the black space on the diorama. In some pictures you see also a touch gold. |

I was this weekend quite busy and have ready two model dioramas. First, a Gemini splashdown diorama scale 1/48. The kit is from the Revell Mercury Gemini 1/48 new release. This time I have make the sea on a turntable.The navy divers were actually 1/48 military paratroopers, just sanding and filing and we have divers.

The second diorama is is the opposite of weight and theme; theme of Apollo 16: Young gets his feet tangled.This is so far I know the biggest resin astronaut there is from brand MBP scale 1/5. It's an Apollo 11 version and I have it change to a Apollo 16 astronaut suit and the theme with John Young. It's very heavy total diorama, 30 pounds, but is was fun to do this one. The name of this diorama is the "The Spaghetti Incident."

Pascal, I'd really like to know (as I'm guessing others here would as well) how you produce such beautiful work so dang fast? Two in a weekend? Really? |

Pascal - kudos on the Apollo 15 and Gemini splashdown models. The Apollo 15 is on my to-do list. Did one a LONG time ago when Glenn did the first version of the SIM bay. Your additions have given me inspiration.I had to laugh about the Gemini splashdown. I did the 1/72 version of the Apollo splashdown - and was very proud of it. I think the UACC show was in Houston that year and I brought the model with me to show and to get signed. Alan Bean LOVED the way I did the scorch marks on the CM, but lectured me for a good half hour on how to paint water. I think it was a lesson I'll never forget. It's amazing how he sees things. But great jobs. Congratulations. What did you use for the base kit for the Gemini splashdown? |

Thanks people!! GoesTo11, no, not two models in one weekend — only were finished. A few model builders on this site do the same as me, they have a few model under there fingers and some they are ready on the same time. Thanks Steve!! I'm very curious to the 1/24, I have this one ready, only the inscription plate. Yep Divemaster so is Alan Bean, if I have let him see one of my models his very punctual and say of he like it or not and what must be change. The turntable is from the brand Trumpether. But the 1/5 Apollo astronaut one is enough I got extra muscles of it. I'm continue with 1/62 LK lander and a little version of the recovery of the Liberty Bell 7, which I did on 1/12 but now 1/48 on a turn table, only the sea will be thinner than the Gemini. |

Is this interior kit still available from Realspace? I can't seem to find it on their site. |

My mistake, I thought the seats and supports were a separate offering by Realspace — or are those seats actually the Revell kit parts? |

Only the astronauts are offered by New Ware, the seats are from the Revell kit and neither Realspace or New Ware makes a replacement. |
