HL-10 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Gemini 4 launched on the 3rd of June 1965. The crew was Ed White & James McDivitt Ed White carried out the USA's first EVA My reason for being so interested in this out of all the Gemini missions is I was born on the 2nd of June 1965. The Revell kit of the space craft is based on the non flying boiler plate version of the capsule so there are some incorrect details, also there were variations between missions. To accurise & detail the model I am using after market from LVM Studios & Real Space: Thanks for looking Angelo Out2gtcha, Trak-Tor, USMC Herc and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnarg Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 That photo etch set completely changes the kit. Great work on getting it updated. Tnarg HL-10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Indeed the PE adds a lot of scale fidelity and realism! Well done HL-10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HL-10 Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 Got Ed White finished. Using plastic card, self adhesive aluminium foil, & wire, I added detail to the heavily modified kit figure. To the original torso I added arms & legs from Airfix 1/24th pilots, then smoothed the figure over with Milliput, and Humbrol filler. Uilleann, Starfighter, Trak-Tor and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Very nice. I have a good friend that's really into space stuff like this. I'll send him the link. HL-10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee White Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Very cool. I used to imagine that Ed White was a relative of mine, a distant uncle or something when I was a 5 year old. I borrowed a book of astronaut biographies from my school (featuring Ed, naturally) in 1967...still haven't returned it yet. Oops.
