If you're a reader planning a V2 build in the Pillars of Fire build, and PoF GB doesn't happen, and this GB somehow gets enough votes to prevail....then this is just to confirm that a V2 is welcome in Above the Karman Line; a V2 being, of course, the first thing to ever fly Above the Karman Line!

Thinking about a small scale build I've had in mind for a while, in case the small scales GB doesn't get up - would things used to train astronauts/cosmonauts count? I'm thinking about vomit comets (also a Roscosmos L-39) - or would they be disqualified as they don't go above the Karman line, they just train the people who'll go there?

Well it's all moot unless the GB gets up. :)

 

I mean, if the model included the pilot figure and he/she was a "flown' cosmonaut, then i think it'd be welcome!

 

I'd encourage you to vote for Above the Karman Line and we'll take it from there :)

I have an idea (inspired by another's build) of a variant of the Excelsior class. And a few banged up models to work with!

The GB is still hanging on but it's time for a bit of a boost! If you know someone who's contemplating joining maybe give them the nudge they need to Make It So! 😀

We want this to be the Probe ship, not the Palomino! Keep it above the Line!

That's true.  Just paint it a dark red colour and say it's how it will look in a thousand years.

Right now we're out of the running gang - whoever took their vote away that's like leaving the airlock open when you go EVA!

 

We need a couple more votes to get through!

  • bianfuxia changed the title to We need a couple more votes to get back Above the GB line! for Above the Karman Line (space, real or SciFi)

Well if this tanks I’ll build the Space shuttle as small scale and augur that the Liberator is outside my comfort zone and that the Cheyenne is a ( Colonial) marines vehicle so scrapes into the salty sea dog :)

Yep same here if this GB doesn't make it then I am making as many of the others a de facto space GB as I can. 

 

Shuttles and booster rockets in the transporters build; Apollo sea recovery in SSD, 1/24 Gemini in large scale, 1/200 Saturn V in small scale...people will be wishing they just voted for AKL! 🤣
