Greetings all,
I thought I would make mention that my studio is sponsoring a special award for the best Real Space subject at the Seattle Spring Model Show, being held on April 16, 2005.
The award is the Astronauts Memorial Award and is dedicated to the crews of Apollo 1, STS-51L Challenger and STS-107 Columbia. The award given will be a special version of my studios "One Giant Leap" Lunar footprint plaque. An example of the plaque can be seen on my website in the Products section. The plaques text layout will be changed to reflect the award and model show at which it was given.
The qualifications will be as follows...
- Model/Diorama must be of or feature a non-fiction spacecraft, Manned or Unmanned. No fictional or speculative subjects.
- Model/Diorama must represent a spacecraft that has, or is currently seeing use in the American Space Program.
- Model/Diorama must depict a spacecraft designed for orbital or space travel. High altitude or non-orbital craft (X-15, Space Ship One, etc) do not qualify. (sorry guys... no X-Prize stuff.)
I am hoping that this award will generate some interest in space modeling. If you have any questions please feel free to ask!
