The updated Space In Miniature book on Gemini is now available. See spaceinminiature.com

I’m back on this platform after several months ignoring it. We’ll see how it goes. Depends who is here.

Stay strong

Absolutely! Great to meet you Friday!

Correct. This is a President of the United States declaring himself a dictator.

And instead of Americans understanding that we’re now under imminent threat of martial law and tyranny, we’ll get a month of think pieces about what the President of the United States meant by his UNAMBIGUOUS statement.

Anyone who says this was NOT a Nazi salute can — with all due respect — fuck off.

This is my first attempt making chrusciki. Need better temperature control on the frying oil.

Gemini IV, Part 7 YouTube video by Michael Mackowski

The last episode of my Gemini IV build shows how I build some sort of carrying cradle or sometimes a padded box. in this case it was being shipped to a customer. That box is shown in this video, as well as some still shots that show off the final product. Thanks for watching.

Making progress on the TKS module for my Salyut 7 model.

Try adding a drop of dish soap

I’ve had no luck with the Tamiya panel liner. Unless you have a really solid barrier coat, cleaning up the excess takes the base color off.

Gemini IV, Part 1 YouTube video by Michael Mackowski

An internet friend asked if I could build a Gemini model for him, so I am building a 1/48 scale Gemini IV with astronaut Ed White doing an EVA. This first video segment discusses some of the issues with the old Revell kit and how I worked around them for this project.

It’s a mix. I’ve done all options with recent purchases

One of three current projects: Repairing a warped fin on an aircraft model. In the painting stage.

I build models of historic spacecraft.

A recent quick lunar theme painting set I did at the “Making Space” workshop.

My latest build is the 1/72 Trumpeter RA-5C Vigilante. Very well engineered kit.

I build scale models, using historical spacecraft or obscure USAF aircraft. Like this EC-121 in 1/72 scale, kit from Heller.

Howdy. I'm going to try this platform for a bit. I tried "Threads" but it was too random. Lots of artists but not enough news feeds. Anyone out there who does hobby art or scale models?
