Mercury 9

[Grendels]

Thanks!

Very interesting results with the masking fluid.

Fantastic work on the base!

The more videos, the better. If you have the time to edit and upload them, we'll find the time to watch them.

I will see what I can do, but I estimate that I still have about 20 hours of work left on this project and I only have 5 days left, so I might not upload a thing until Sunday.

Just a few photos to show what I have been doing:

The fork lift is an actual model kit, 4 pieces.....

 

[Igard]

You know photos are almost as good!

Looks great and so teeny. Very nice job on the paint work, lots of various shades. And you're almost there too!

 

[ModelMakerMike]

John, oh yeah!
That ship looks great!
Love it, and the massive forklift..... Sheesh, don't lose it.

 

[Quaralane]

Awesome work in there, John.

 

[Solander]

Awesome, G!
The 3D interior of the control center would definitely add a lot to the decal-interior imho.

 

[Biskup]

That’s a great build man I hope you will finish it in time because it will be something

Great build my friend sorry to hear that you didn't make it in time

 

[Igard]

Ach! You gave it a great shot. Sorry to hear this Grendels. At least this way you can take your time and do what you want to with it.

And your local contest won't know what hit them methinks!

 

[Quaralane]

Like I said on Youtube,
Very sorry you didn't get her done. VERY glad you'll still be finishing her up

 

[Tanker52]

Sorry to hear you could not finish your build in time, I understand because I ran out of time myself for both of my entries. Your diorama is awesome. The work and skill your put into this project is astronomical. I am looking forward to seeing it all completed and lit. Thanks for making your videos and taking the time explain your lighting details. I learned much from your techniques.
