The spacecraft of the day at 1/220!

Thanks, I've sourced thin wire/piano wire on my builds too, but your looked "dipped" Jan so I thought perhaps it might be something else. Bristles wasn't something I'd considered. A good suggestion for extra fine things. I hop I'll remember that!

Excellent model work, and a fascinating space history lesson.

Many thanks!

Slowly making my way back after a long absence; wonderful to see such a wide ranging collection, especially the Russian Space Stations. They're also excellently built!

Have you given any thoughts of building a model like the Delta III/Centaur rocket that launched Voyagers 1 and 2?

I don't know if such a model exists, but it's just a thought.

Cheers!

Thank you very much.
I think there was a Titan III Centaur from Mark Cable models.
But now I have a Titan IV to finish!

The Russian space station Salyut 7, the last of the name. From 1982 to 1991. Visited by french astronaut Jean-Loup Chrétien in June 1982. At the back of the model, Soyuz T15 and at the front a TKS spacecraft.
Saliout 7 — Wikipedia
Model here:
Kompleks orbitalny Kosmos 1686 + Salut 7 + Sojuz T-15 – darmowy model – Gniazdo Światow – Bartek Biedrzycki

Salyut-7 - PauKy







With Salyut 6.

Skylab, put into orbit on May 14, 1973 is the first American space station.
An incident will deprive it of a solar panel and a part of its thermal coating, forcing the astronauts to a makeshift repair that can be seen on the back of the model.

Model from John Jogerst available in the download part of the forum.







With Salyut1:

Excellent work and impressive collection!

Very nice models.

The Terrier improved Malemute is a small American sounding rocket composed of 2 stages, a first stage Terrier and a second stage improved Malemute (logical, no?). Launched in 2016, it can reach 600 to 700 kilometers of altitude.

PS: la pointe de la fusée a été redressée depuis. C'est tellement petit que cela n'apparait que sur la macro.

[Jan Kytop]

Sorry for the last part.
Traduction is as follow:
the tip of the rocket has been straightened since. It's so small that it only appears on the macro.
