US Spacecraft Collection 1:96




In 11th grade, I did a project on the 1960's for my AP US History class, which of course involved the space program. One of my visual aids was a scale comparison of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo in the form of 1:96 scale models mounted to piece of wood with a picture of a person for scale. Unfortunately, it was not used due to time constraints. It eventually ended up nailed to my office wall and has shown up in a few photos I've posted. Also, I've accumulated several modern and future spacecraft models in the same scale and decided to do some something similar with a collection of post-shuttle spacecraft ( I still need a Dreamchaser).

That looks very sharp. Great builds.

I'm wondering how many of those on the bottom row will actually come to fruition, though....

That is wonderful work, and very smart to keep all of the craft in 1/96 along with the person for comparison. It gives the viewer (especially someone not familiar with the spacecraft) a very good perception of the space program. Beautiful displays.

Very nice. I've done the same thing, but I haven't yet done an orbital Cygnus or the X-38. I was also going to add an X-15 and shuttle to my display, which is no more than a shelf next to my computer.

That's really a very cool way to display your wonderful builds! It really looks great!

I also like you kept them all in the same scale, and with a person as a way to show the true size of these craft, as well as the relative sizes of the craft as the progressed in time.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing a photo of your builds with us!

Cheers!
Jim
