GordonD Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 This has saddened me more than Bowie, Ali, or any of the other giants we've lost this year. LOS for now, John. We'll see you on the other side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Mc Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 As if on cue, the Horizon Models Mercury Atlas kits I had ordered a couple of weeks ago arrived in this morning's post. I now have a good motivation for building these - a tribute to Major Glenn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootneck Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I hadn't thought of that. I have the Revell Mercury Capsule and Atlas Booster set and had wondered what theme I could do as a build. Thanks for the idea. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now have a good motivation for building these - a tribute to Major Glenn. I posted elsewhere that I've been having problems deciding what to build next. The Horizon kit was one of the possibilities but this is a wonderful idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 As Glenn's passing also marks the departure of the last of the Mercury 7 and 2017 is the 55 anniversary of his 1962 flight, I think a Project Mercury Tribute Build would be a very good idea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
