Here are a few of the 25 unique molds for the exterior surface of the Mercury Capsule. Also pictured is a prototype part of the lift ring cover. This one was molded in white and painted. It was test fitted on an actual capsule. Beside the color being slightly off, the size and dimples were nearly exact replicas. These molds are much more accurate than other replicas often seen. This is an early computer model of the Antenna Fairing top and some of the lower shingles. Colin does excellent work!

The model pictured above in various stages of construction.  The photos are updated regularly so check back for new or different ones.

These are some shots of the 1/4 shingles. I wasn't originally going to do them but decided it would be a good test fit for the final ones and they could be available to builders of the card model. More details later...

I thought I would just throw up some random shots that might be interesting to the card model builders. Most of them were sized down roughly half to make them easier to upload and save space.

These are some photos of SC 1 as it was being refurbished a few years back.

These are of Colin and I and SC 10.                                    The photo for collectSPACE

This is SC 12 as it was getting re-furbished to go on display at KSC (images by Guard-Lee)

These are just some really cool photos of the capsules under construction.

SC-5 Photos for the Card Modeling site. If you need any higher res or other photos from this shoot, let me know. I mostly focused on details I was looking for for my project but I might be able to help you.

All photos are from me, Win Perkins or otherwise noted.
