Why? I'd seen your work some days ago and it is really stunning and very inspiring! Ironically, two years ago I bought the same Soyuz trailer kit, which is at circa 1:150 scale and have planned to use it to entirely redesign a true 1:144 scale resin+PE model, including the TEM2 diesel loco and service vehicle. This will use another NewWare rocket, of course. This should be done around 2022-2023 and I'll do a separate companion dio showing Soyuz flight MS-03 in November of 2016 being transported to the launch pad. When building my kit I originally wanted the two towers joi

Thanks Pete for the kind words. NewWare items: the complete Soyuz launcher LVM items: the launch pad, including resin base. Excellent PË indeed: very well designed and easy to handle: a real pleasure. Preiser items: half scratched workers Scratch: wooden base, all piping around the two service towers, decals (safety circle on base, stars on left tower lever brace), air conditioning unit, hoses and extra platform on right service tower, light bulbs on upper level of both towers, numerous electrical boxes around base and on some platforms, about six metres of electrica

Hello, Following is a summary my assembly of LVM Studio’s magnificent kit of the Baikonur Soyuz Launch Pad. A really big kit (resin, photo etching) which will host my NewWare kit of Soyuz TM. Scale is 1:144. Part one: the Soyuz launcher (NewWare, resin and PE): First coat of orange paint. On the right is a Vostok launcher. masking using Parafilm. Decals: Completed launcher: PART 2: Launchpad base

Thank you Pete for your kind comment. Yes, I won 1st place at Telford the same year (2015): the first time ever a space subject got Best of Show there... the "Space jury" was extremely proud indeed, so was Leon. That's why my Ranger was down-classed to make room for this other project. This was the Soyuz launch pad. I plan to post another résumé of this building very soon. _Bruno

Hello Space Folks, I'm new on this forum and I wanted to share with you a résumé of my 2012 design + building of a 1:24 scale resin, metal and photo etching model of NASA Ranger 8 Lunar Probe. This took me about one year to suceed, including about 130hrs of CAD, these last spread in four months. I started from NASA original blueprints and a collection of pictures from museums and archives. My starting point: First came the extensive CAD work. Some milestones:
