K2Pete Posted January 16, 2022 Report Posted January 16, 2022 This was another fun model for me ... using the Revell Gemini 1/6 scale kit of Ed White on his EVA, I modified the figure and made an AMU ( Astronaut Maneuvering Unit ) as well as a partial Agena. The Decals were all homemade ... The AMU and ELSS ( Chest Pack ) The AMU ... Just using styrene ... I did a little surgery on the Astro's hands ... ... building up the partial Agena ... This event did not happen, but I had a kit and some plastic and thought ... oh ... what the heck! ;^ D Pete
Mark Deliduka Posted January 16, 2022 Report Posted January 16, 2022 It may not have happened but it is certainly a stunning representation of a possible event! Way to go!
K2Pete Posted January 17, 2022 Author Report Posted January 17, 2022 Yessir! The event is fictitious, but the hardware is actual ... that's how I measure my satisfaction, " ... does it look like the actual thing, YES? Then carry on mate!" Thanx Mark! ;- D Pete
Stikpusher Posted January 28, 2022 Report Posted January 28, 2022 Baby steps in space. I didn’t know that the backpack maneuvering unit was being developed during Gemini. Your models continue to both inspire and educate.
