                        Awesome! I just finished watching the documentary, "Moonshots" that features the Mercury through Apollo missions. Big Smile [:D]

                        Your kit looks great.

                        Regards,

                        Hi ya Matthew ...

                        Thanks for sharing your Liberty Bell 7 ... you have done a fine job !!!

                        I look forward to the review in the April '05 FSM. I was at my local Hobby Lobby New Year's eve ... and one of these kits followed me home ... Big Smile [:D] I am not sure I will be able to wait for the review before my Mercury space craft appears on my workbench for construction.

                        I look foward to the review......I bet you had fun building her!

                        There are some folks working on aftermarket interior parts and decals as we speak but I'm not going to wait.

                        Looks cool Matt. Did you include the rolls of dimes that ol' Gus packed with him?

                        That is heavy-duty super-duper, Matt!
                        I've heard a lot of good things about that kit.
                        Looking forward to your review!

                        Just-finished Mercury capsule
                        Posted by Matthew Usher on Monday, January 3, 2005 11:22 AM
                        I finished my Atomic City/MRC 1/12 scale Mercury capsule over the weekend, and here it is:



                        I modeled Gus Grissom's Liberty Bell 7, since he and I are both Indiana boys.

                        Look for a full Workbench Review of this model in the April '05 FSM.

                        I hope you like it!
