It's absolutely beautiful, Ron!

Amazing, actually.

Stunning even.

Here is my collection of 1/144th scale "retired" US Manned Launch Vehicles:

Thanks Seadevil!

Very Impressive, I didnt realize the Saturn launch vehicles were different sizes to each other.

Yes, the Saturn 1B was smaller, and used for Earth orbit, like Apollo7, Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz. The Saturn V was used for Lunar missions and the Skylab workshop. A 1B could not carry a CSM and LM at the same time, or boost any payload beyond Earth orbit.

Something else that I collect, I thought I would show off. My space patch collection. Ihave NASA patches from every manned mission, some unmanned and a bunch of other cool space related patches.

First, here are my Shuttle patches on 3 different wall hangers of felt.

Wow! That's quite impressive, Ron!

Spectacular collection!

Here are my ISS patches. They have patches ready for these missions for two years in advance. There are some variations not shown that have changes in crew names.

Thanks Sea Devil, but that ain't all, lol!

This a a group of special patches made for the SCA crews for the final3 flights taking the space shuttles to their respective museums. I made a little frame and put a picture of each flight over Washington DC and NYC for Discovery and Enterprise. I will change out one of the two Enterprise pictures when Endeavour flies to California later this year.

And these are some cool NRO mission patches. Some people on-line actually believe these are for super secret shuttle missions that aren't sent to battle aliens or something. LOL.

My Apollo patch picture turned out to dark, have to wait until daylight to try again. I have a big tub of canceled mission patches and other things as well.

Now I'm even more impressed...

Well, here is someone I have been working on for a long time, Ace!
Her head is a modified Martha Jones and the body is a bunch of other parts, legs from a Novice Hame, body is the Primeval Helen Cutter and a skirt is a piece of a Grandma Connolly. The shuttle patches are printed out from scaled down images from a space store online and the rest are painted. I need to put some flat on her face because she seams still too shiny. And the baseball bat is 1/12th scale and a bit big.

The attention to detail is absolutely amazing, Ron! She's great!

Looks great, Ron! The patches came out really well.

One of the lamest figures ever released, yet invaluable to so many customs...

I only got Laslo which was free for a custom. I never waste money on boring figures.

My new model of Voyager

Vejur!

Great looking Ace figure.
