Hello Everyone, I have an opportunity to visit the USA from Australia in August. The conference is in Chicago but afterwards I am staying a week and would like to visit NYC, The Smithsonian and other sites in Washington and if possible the Kennedy Space Centre in Orlando. If I can't visit all three cities due to time and funds constraints, would there be plenty of Space stuff to see in Washington and perhaps NYC, or is all the good stuff in Florida? Thanks, Steve

Thanks everyone, some great tips and info. looking forward to checking out the site

Hello Everyone, I'm new to the forum and new to modelling after dabbling in it as a teen. (in my 50's now). I've just purchased the Airfix 1/144 Space Shuttle and Saturn V and have started the Shuttle. (1) I'm wondering the best way to add ribbing to the main booster? (2) Texture the upper body? I've read that surgical tape is an option. Does that work for 1/144. (3) Paint the underside. Tile pattern decals seem rare as hens teeth, I've read that fly mesh has been used but not sure if that was 1/72 or 1/144. (4) I thought I might use the 1/144 astronaut figures from the Saturn V kit and
