Hello Folks! Following is my assembly of LVM Studio’s magnificent kit of the Baikonur Soyuz Launch Pad. A really big kit (resin, photo etching) which will host my NewWare kit of Soyuz TM. http://www.forum-maquettes-spatiales.com/t1282-lanceurs-r7-vostok-et-soyuz-tma-new-ware-1-144-montage-de-bgire I first discovered this kit on the LVM Studio’s stand in Telford Scale Model Show four years ago. It took all this time to decide to start this huge project. The cardboard box is really big and includes many parts and assembly instructions (a CD): Inside, many photo etched sheets (.15mm brass), numerous resin parts and 4mm thick styrène plates for the concrete base: Starting with the « concrete base ». This reproduces only part of the real, huge platform built above a big trench in Baikonur. The top plate and inner cylinder are moulded parts, the rest is made of 4mm styrene plates.

Hi Everyone, Here are my 1st completed builds for 2014. Airfix Vostok 1 & Soyuz space boosters in 1:144. Aside from the russian lettering decals for the display stands these kits are complete. I am saving the decals until I have got more decals to do (see my USS Voyager thread). Anyway onto the photos : Soyuz : Vostok 1 : Both Together - This really shows the size difference ! : The 2 small capsules are the spares from the other kit - each launch booster has a capsule underneath the launch shroud. Hope everyone likes them. Now its onto something from the 23rd Century - applying paint to USS Voyager NCC-74656. Thanks for looking, Rick -
Hi Everyone, Here is my next project - Airfix Vostok 1 - 1:144 scale. Originally I was going to build this as Vostok 1 and buy another kit to build as the Soyuz. However, I have changed my mind and am going to build this kit as the Soyuz and stick with just one kit. Pictures of the actual kit will follow tomorrow, but here is the box art. Rick
