The Duke Finishes Two in July

[Duke Maddog]

I'm posting these two newest ones here since I don't see any Forums for real Space subjects. Today I finished two model rockets.

This first one is the Convair Atlas rocket in 1/72 scale from Horizon Models:

This second one is the Mercury Redstone rocket in 1/72 scale with Friendship 7 riding atop it. This is also from Horizon Models:

That is all I have for now. Thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

Good job Mark

As a former missileer that Atlas looks vaguely familiar...

Thanks Bob! I'm so happy these are done.

Thanks Barney! Do tell....

Excellent job Mark
Any Minute Man missiles in our scale?
I need to find one with the transporter erector.
I have the 1/144 Hasegawa missile set.
Don't now if I want to build it.

Frank I haven't seen any Minute Man missiles yet; but if any get made in 1/72 scale; it will most likely be done by Horizon Models. I don't know if they'll add a TEL with it though. They didn't with these two.

Thanks for the compliments Frank, hopefully we'll see a Minute Man.

Great job Mark, they look fantastic!!

AS I was scrolling down, I was imagining I was watching the classic footage of the Saturn V taking off!!

Thanks Sharkman!

Mark, those are a couple of nice looking Rockets. I like the Friendship 7 rocket.

Thanks Dave! I am so thrilled to have finished them. They do look pretty good sitting on my shelf!
