Dear Steve,

 Thanks for your kind words. My next project is the New Ware Salyut in 144th scale. I just received it and it is wonderfully detailed. It is the first model ever created of the fist russian space station. Details on the Salyut can be found at

Regards

Barry

I entered the same model at the Hudson Valley Historical Miniatures Guild contest in Poughkepsie NY on October 20. I won first place in the Science, Fiction & Fantasy category.

Thank you so much for taking the great photos of Zond. It was very kind of you. The Descent Module of Zond was covered by thermal blankets that also were used on Soyuz. Many modelers call this color "Soyuz green". It is a mixture of 60% forest gree, 20% metallic blue (Copenhagen metallic blue in this case), 10% silver and 10% black or grey (darker or lighter shades). It has different sheens by airbrushes several shades and then dry brushing.

The kit itself was made by New Ware and was a delight to build. There are 36 "T" antennas between the tow modules which are included on a single PE ring. the large PE antenna dish up front was formed over a metal Easter egg!

I exhibited the New Ware Zond in 1/48 at the IPMS stratford contest last Sunday. A large montage featuring all the models was posted in the General Discussion section. Included in the photos was this one of Zond.

It is an highly unusual model of a spacecraft designed to go around the moon. the PE parts were jewellike and the overall appearnace quite spectacular.
