Sputnik - scratch built - 1/14 scale
Posted by Dave DeLang on Tuesday, May 6, 2008 10:10 AM

Here are some pictures of my entry into our club's "Sputnik Challenge". We were all given a ping pong ball with the goal of turning it into a Sputnik in honor of the 50th anniversary of the first man-made object in earth orbit.

 I chose to model my Sputnik opened up to reveal its innards. A Google image search provided the documentation I needed and Evergreen supplied most of the raw materials.

Nice-ly done! Your level of craftsmanship at that scale, is outstanding Dave! The details you've included and the assembly of the various pieces is terrific!!

I saw it at NorEastCon a couple weeks ago. Your photos do it justice.

Thanx for the in-progress pix.

Well done
Pete

Ping-pong modeling! Wow that's great. I love seeing unconventional modeling materials. A whole new meaning to ping-pong diplomacy.
