Even with the glitch glueing the wrap this is going very nicely! Thanks for taking the time and effort to bring us all along...
true.That is looking real sweet!
It would be nice if they brought back all the rocket kits that started it all.
And the shuttle with full stack.
And, the new ones if they can get the rights to produce them.
One has chances on Ebay once in a while to get the older ones, but I could never afford them for what they go for.
Partly the lack of adhesion. Mostly the way it wicks under the masking.
Is the capsule cracked. I noticed the white line? Maybe I'm seeing things?
That's the line representing the Librrty Bell, which was the name of the capsule iirc.
The Gemini capsule is a 1/35 scale turned by Gordon/Sandman. The adapter skirt is from a 1/48 paper model, rescaled.
I used the tubing from the Mercury Atlas to size a PVC mandrel, and I'm wrapping my own paper tubing - since the Titan II body and the Atlas body are the same size.
Scary thing - the tubing is also about 1% of the correct size for a 1/100 Space Shuttle external tank - using the Guillows glider.
So no - not a kit.
