K2Pete Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 It may not have happened but it is certainly a stunning representation of a possible event! Way to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K2Pete Posted January 17, 2022 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stikpusher Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
