Quaker Space Flight to the Moon series 1-8

I was only able to restore 5 out of 8, which ain't bad. I was delighted with the resolution and vibrant color rendition. As always I did the printing at FedEx Express for just a few dollars. I accidentally printed one model to 11 x17 and the image came out beautifully. I may actually build it and give it away.

Here are the models. I plan on making a little display to show them off.

I was too young (and living in England) to see these as a child, so it is quite a bit of fun to explore them now. Many thanks to cjwalas for turning us on to these.

I enjoyed a quiet morning and afternoon watching movies on Netflix and constructing these models. There is really nothing of a challenge to them at all. They are just fun to put together.

Maj. Charles my friend, just a small advisory:
In the downloads section, "Wing Repair in Space" appears twice.
Once under its' own name, and once under the "Passing Space Liner" name.

As the two illustrations are visually very similar, I have no doubt that that is the reason behind the error that saw the same upload happen twice.

Kind and Respectful Regards Maj. Charles my friend, Uyraell.

Thank you, PaperWarrior, et al, for your interest! For my part, I'm having a ball. For years, I've taken from the community, and now, I have the opportunity to give back something.
