Space Shuttle Mock Up?

It looks like a VERY early piece from the program described here:

Since you live in DC, maybe take it to the Smithsonian for evaluation before doing anything else with it?

Yeah, off to NASM.  I have a few connections there.  :)

It sort of looks like one of the early Rockwell contracted designs. In the Bill Woods video I linked, you can see a number of similarities between a number of the concept models he shows off.

that yellow model (17:30) clearly a General Dynamics is a very close rendering. 

 

Thanks for the link.

Neat!   Personally I would leave that original one completely alone, untouched. I might try to see if I could case it as Shawn mentioned, then make 3 copies and display it as above, with or without the original.

 

I just get the feeling it would be better not to mess with the original
