Thank you, thank you! You are all too kind. Glad you like it.
I already decided on another build. This time not space related but more in the early SF department. In a while I will produce some photos at the appropriate place here. |

I almost totally forgot! There's one from the side but I'll make a couple from halfway up. Back in a jiffy. (-:

Beautiful, but not a model ... it's sculpture!

Nice job PK! I mean really nice. Well done.
However, I would not be me, if I didn't find some nit to pick on. So here goes: your waves are way too high. I watched the Liberty Bell splash-down and recovery footage again last night and it's shows waves of 3 to 4 feet max. Your dio has waves much bigger than that: up to 9 scale feet. Compare your dio with the attached image.

I know, Woods. I already did know that when I started this, having used the attached photo as a reference. I just wanted to give the diorama some extra impact to, say, emphasize the urgency of the situation. Call it poetic license.

Point taken. Still a wonderful diorama to look at. Btw. Do you have a copy of the Discovery Channel documentary "In search of Liberty Bell 7"?

I have seen it when they aired it. Interesting stuff and a lot of nice side-stories, as I remember it well.
Only thing is that I always get a bit itchy from those historical Discovery documentaries when they start like: "Will Grissom get out of the sea in time before drowning? You'll see what happened, after the break." Or that story with the explosive charge on board they had to be careful with. Liberty Bell already being on dry land as it aired, trying to increase the suspense by suggesting it still might go wrong with the onboard grenade when they were hoisting the capsule on to the deck. (or was it live? I can't remember..) Apart from that, it was a very interesting evening when they aired it. The programme was filled with all kinds of documentaries and stuff about Mercury. I taped it all on VHS but I don't have a VCR any more. I guess the tapes are a bit deteriorated now, anyway, having not been played for more than a decade. I sometimes am tempted to get some of those Spacecraftfilms DVD's but they're quite expensive and I read a lot about the messy mailing service they seem to have. |
