                        Thanks for the kind words.  I know where you are we have a time share at Izaty's we visit yearly.

                        As for the other subjects, Stargazer, the guy that mastered this has two Orion kits, one a passenger version and the other a cargo variant.  He is also rumored to be working on the Discovery in the same scale....

                        ---------------------------------

                        Attended the Zumbro Valley Modelers Club's Hope it doesn't Snow Show in Rochester MN yesterday and managed to steal a gold medal for my efforts with the Aries 1-B.  A happy belated birthday to me!!!

                        That is absolutely outstanding work!

                        Being an ancient 2001 ASO fan, I always loved the Aries. A practical real-world design, too. Any thoughts about starting the Orion spaceplane? Can't have an Aries without an Orion......and the Discovery............

                        Excellent job!!

                        The kit is a Stargazer kit available at Starship Modeler and it is 1/144th scale.  You can't see it in the picture but it has a complete passenger compartment with 24 seats and restrooms....

                        After about a month of work and some writing I finally got her done.  Still working on the some photography issues but I think she turned out pretty nice....




                        Here is the screen shot I modeled this after...
