Tabio Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Took me a while to spot the rockets lol. They are all awesome looking! Anyone look at the orbiter? It says its r/c- I'm assuming it separates from the stack and you fly it back down- how cool is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Mmmm........... Nice ti...I mean kits!. Seriously though, this has given me a bit of modelling mojo back. I have plans to make use of my Atomic City Mercury capsule and build a 1/12 Mercury Redstone!!!!!!!! My plan is to get hold of the 1/48 David Weeks drawings (scaling them up to 1/12) and use them to build the booster. I am thinking of getting a 2m length of 6" rigid duct tubing and cutting it down to the reqiured 59" My only worry is "if' it ever gets done it will stand at 83" where the hell am I going to put it!!!??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me of the bloke who had a full-grown gorilla as a pet. His friend asked him: "Where does it sleep?" The bloke replied: "Anywhere it flaming well likes!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetboy Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 hi,ive got a stack of 4" soil pipe,what scale would that equate to,ifydm me asking? Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hi Don, 5.83 ft is the exact diameter of the Redstone, but for 1/12 modelling purpose 6" is the nearest you can get. the height is 83.38 ft inc the capsule which is 24ft so 59'' in 1/12 will cover the booster. Your material will allow 1/16. Google 6" rigid duct tubing, works out at about £22 for 2 meters. I did look at custom postal tubing which is dirt cheap, but it's carboard so will be a pain to scribe or paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
