I'm offering a full scale Sputnik 1 replica here first before I either consign it or eBay it. It's identical to the one that sold at Sotheby's for $15k hammer. It's one that was built long ago that I recently got back and I've taken it apart and replaced some of the parts and added details.

I'm trying to get my Aerospace Design Museum project going and the funds will be used to get it going. I'm not sure who bought the Sotheby's replica but the first I built was for the Armstrong Museum and is still there. I offered this one in trade because it's more accurate, I don't know if that's still under consideration.

I built one a few years ago for Clay Perkins and he has it in his library. He worked on the bomb and has a full scale replica of "little boy" in his yard! Here's a pic of his. This and the Sotheby's are identical to the one I'm offering.
