umtutsut Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Gang, Here's the result of my last couple months' modeling endeavors: a 1/6 model of Ed White during his Gemini IV EVA in June 1965. Basic kit was the Revell Astronaut with MMU figure, tricked out with some resin replacement parts I bought on EBay a couple years ago. Added scratchbuilt stuff, even made decals for his EMU (chest pack). Note: The "mission emblem" on the base wasn't worn by the crew, but it appeared in at least a couple crew pix before NASA nixed it for the mission. Comments welcome. Enjoy!

niart17 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Very nice! I like the details you've added and it's a really great display. Give a good sense that he's just floating in space. Great job! Do you have any in progress shots showing how you did some of the details? Always nice to get ideas from others, especially when they turn out as nice as this. Thanks for posting, Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crackerjazz Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 This is amazing, sir. I really love the way the image "reflected" on the visor. It looks eerily realistic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
