Latest project, I'll link to my blog post that includes a little history of the mission: Gemini 9A and ATDAThe kit is the old Revell Gemini with the RealSpace Models resin update and Space Model Systems decals. I scratchbuilt the AMU, handholds and foot hold from plastic stock. The ATDA is the RealSpace kit with added navigation lights and the loose cable/wires that can be seen in some of the mission photos. |

Very nice! 1/48 is big for a model rocket, even if only a small Redstone. |

1/24 scale Gemini V built with the classic Revell kit, RealSpace Models detail parts, Space Model Systems decals and some scratchbuilding. Radar pod was modified from kit part, crew members were repositioned and leftover LVM photoetch used as a template to detail the door interior frams, plus putty work for the door storage pouches.

My take on Gemini 4 during Ed White's EVA in 1/48. The classic Revell kit with RealSpace Models parts, Space Model System Decals, Max Grueter's 3D printed figures, scratchbuilt hatch details and the patch design preferred by Jim McDivitt.

I love that Gemini with the wing. I have that kit and the manufactured wing kit, but I have zero confidence I can do it justice. I'd love to pay someone to build it someday. Sweet work on all these builds! |

Modified the 1/72 Dragon Apollo 10 kit. Corrected the docking windows on the CM, added navigation optics, hatch details, lift ring and the forward hatch. Bare Metal Foil was etched with a hobby knife to simulate the Mylar tape. nside of SPS engine bell sanded smooth on the SM and the hole for the steerable antenna plugged. Surface details were added to the SLA using plastic sheet and strip. EVA handhold covers removed from BPC and optics cover resized. Cable trays and upper rockets added to the LES.

1:6 scale Capt. Richard F. Gordon Jr on his Gemini 11 EVA. 1967 Revell Gemini Astronaut kit. Brass tube was built into the body for support. The central cinch strap was fashioned from Aves putty and sheet plastic while the suit environmental t-connectors were made from plastic stock and aluminum tubing. The Extravehicular Life Support System (ELSS) chestpack was scratchbuilt from sheet styrene with the labels and control panel printed on a laser printer from published photos. The umbilical harness was several gauges of electrical wire, tape, Aves putty, brass tube and plastic bits. The visor was painted with Rustoleum Metallic Bright Gold while the main suit was painted with Garagekit Colors acrylics. The ELSS and umbilicals were painted with Tamiya acrylics. The base was from the Dragon Saturn V with the upright fashioned from 1/4" acrylic rod.

Modified the 1/72 Dragon Apollo 10 kit to model the test flight of Lunar Module 1 on Apollo 5. Corrected and updated details on the LM to match LM-1. Added details to the inside of the Spacecraft Lunar Adapter and used a NASA reference for the Saturn IB Instrument unit to detail the exterior and interior of that. I added the access hatches to the SLA panels and scratchbuilt the top cone from sheet styrene.

1/48 Scale Apollo 8 "Earthrise" trying to replicate the attitude of the spacecraft during the famous photo. The model is from RealSpace Models, I added details to the SPS purge/fill housing on the aft heat shield, injector details to the throat of the SPS engine bell, and the lift hook below the hatch. The CM was covered with 2mm strips of Bare Metal Foil. Detail photos of Apollo Spacecraft show these applications were not perfectly neat. I added paint blistering to parts of the service module to replicate heat damage, and added staining from the RCS quads. The case was custom made by Specialty Plastics and I had a local print shop do a photo quality print of the Earthrise photo for the background.

My completed 1/72 Gemini 8 display. Shadowbox I picked up at Michael's. Displayed showing the chaotic separation of the vehicles caused by a stuck OAMS thruster on the Gemini. Details added to the Gemini include the Extravehicular Support Pack and handrails on the aft heat shield, horizon sensor and docking guide popup. I custom printed decals for the service module panels and velcro patches. I added some greeblies to the propulsion section of the Agena, along with the support frames for the side heat shields and details on the body. I used 1/64" white stripe decals from Microscale, Bare Metal Foil, and a set of custom printed decals for the Agena, using mission photos as reference.

1/72 Gemini Titan as Gemini 10. RealSpace Models kits with added details referenced from the David Weeks drawings. I printed custom decals for the panel/velcro patches on the equipment module and to simulate the ridges on the first stage propellant conduits.
