Need Help with Surfduke's Sigma 7
Hey guys,
Are there any instructions for Carl's (Surfduke's) Sigma 7? He's designed a really cool interior, but I can't tell how all of it goes together. Anyone tackle this baby before? Thanks, Mike |

Mike,
I checked all my files (since I was the one writing the instructions for Carl) and I have nothing for this kit. Carl never forwarded any build info to me. Sorry, Mike (also) |

Mike, I was hoping you'd see this and respond.
I remembered that you were hosting his stuff and were putting the instructions together. I was hoping that maybe the file existed, but somehow fell between the cracks. Oh well, I will have to go to the Air Force Museum tomorrow or something and take pictures of the interior of their Mercury spacecraft. Thanks, Mike |

Hey Mike, some more reference for you.
Here's a build made by Phil Smith who took a reasonable detailed 1/12 Atomic City Merc and made it into an almost incredible mini scaled real version of the thing. Okay, it's polystyrene but it's god for reference. I have the kit myself and what he did to is has become legendary. I hope I someday get the nerve to try and do the same. |

Paper,
That's stunning! Hopefully I can correlate Surfduke's parts with what I see here. I really hope you can duplicate this model. It's amazing! Mike |

Oh, and Mike, Mercsim (Scott) knows almost everything there is to know of all the Mercury capsules flown and unflown and has a huge photo archive. He himself is working on an 1:4 paper model of the capsule and someone over at the neighbours is making it into an 1:1 model now as we speak.
Perhaps they also are good reference. And of course you could PM Carl; he can tell which is which in his model. |

I can tell you that Carl did all of his designs in CAD, so if you can get ahold of him, you can probably get a copy of his CAD file to see where everything goes.
