The CEV "Schirra"
Posted by dhanners on Monday, March 29, 2004 7:52 AM
Not to toot my own horn (but I will anyway....) but here are some photos of my latest, the Crew Exploration Vehicle "Schirra"
http://www.starshipmodeler.org/gallery8/dh_schirra.htm

It is based on a Lockheed Martin conceptual design for a CEV. It is scratchbuilt from sheet styrene and is in 1/32nd scale (I suppose) and is 6.5 inches long. Even though the real thing hasn't been built yet, I'm sticking it in the "Space" category instead of "Sci-Fi."

Tips, pointers, questions welcome.

Very Nice...would you like to see some images of Schirra's original Mercury suit? It resides about 25 feet from my office.

That's a great model, David. Nice job. It's great to see a scratchbuild/kitbash work so well.
Cross my heart, strike me dead, slap a lobster on my head.
