Real space sculpter Ignacio Bernacer Alpera will come soon with a very nice new 1/12 Gemini astronaut resin kit in spacewalk theme. Very nice model!

It looks like this Gemini astronaut is still on the ground, with the rubber boot overshoes and suit a/c unit used when going from the suit-up room to the Gemini capsule. Will the final product include the umbilicals, camera, maneuvering gun etc. used during his EVA? |

Unfortunately I'm not the lucky owner of this one but it's something I'll be adding to my collection at some point. |

Just finished my paint-ups of the Gemini and Mercury astronauts. I repositioned Ed White's right hand, and tried to resculpt the head of the Mercury astronaut to resemble Gus Grissom.The castings were very good, with just a little flash and slight seams to deal with. The poses are great, and I'm quite happy to have these as part of my collection. |

They look both great! Well done! Here my one, I really was doubt about suit color, did see many Gemini suit photo, show it has little touch of chapmpange color.
