New Member with Space Interests
I'm thrilled to have found this site, and pleased to be able to join in the fun. I've only built a few paper models, and just completed the one attached--a Delta 7 Studio Gemini 4 in 1/24 scale. I had a blast, and look forward to learning from this community.
I grew up on the Space Coast--we moved to Indialantic Fl in October 1965 so Dad could help North American Aviation get Apollo off the ground. Those were heady days for a teenage boy to grow up!! I've never lost my love for all things space, and model building reconnects me with those memories and my family! Thank you!!! |

Hello and welcome. By the looks of things your already a very good modeler. Look around and youlmfind all sorts of helpful people and ideas here.
Indiatlantic, Fla. I lived there in the mid 70’s. I went to college at FIT and the dorm for the flight department was located there at that time. Small world. |

Welcome aboard! For a beginner you are really good as paper modeler. Your Gemini looks great.
Lots of space addicted here, sure you'll be fine. Your Gemini has internal details? I see an open door and would like to peek inside... |

Thank you, and more pics attached
Thank you for your kind comments, Tonino!! Here are more pics, including the jig I came up with to recreate a 3D gold foil to cover the instrument bay.

Thank you jagolden01! I've got their combined 1/14 Mercury and 1/96 Mercury Atlas stack as my next project. The Blue Gemini looks intriguing. Please post photos as you progress!!
