2001 USA Space Nuke - LeeS - 06-19-2014 One of the miniatures I've wanted to recreate for some years is one of the 'bombs' as seen in 2001. Specifically the US one that is the first one seen. I picked up 2 very good pictures of the miniature a few years ago and made decent scans of them. They show the details well. Knowing that many of the miniatures were huge I feared this might be too. So far I've only nailed down one part and then from the Revell Gemini, an old favorite used so much again on Space 1999. I'm fairly sure it's the larger 1/24th version, but that's not locked. There also appears to be the 'dish' from a Lindberg Moon/Lunar lander/ship. Here's the two pictures I have (you can zoom in a fair amount): https://www.flickr.com/photos/lee_stringer/2071729447/in/set-72157594495135291/lightbox/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/lee_stringer/2071729287/in/set-72157594495135291/lightbox/ The Gemini part can be seen on the front of the rear section in the second picture. This should make it a very do-able 2foot long piece once made. Does anyone spot anything else? I'm mainly interested in the 'S9' decal, and the kit parts used for the details at the very front. RE: 2001 USA Space Nuke - Wombat - 06-19-2014 Not spotting anything, Lee but agree that looks like a Gemini part that you've mentioned. Wonder if the S9 decal could be 65 just upside down? RE: 2001 USA Space Nuke - LeeS - 06-19-2014 Could be!, it's certainly typical 60s USAF font. So tracking it to a specific kit might be hard. Here's the only other good shot I've ever seen: RE: 2001 USA Space Nuke - LeeS - 07-02-2014 Anyone have a Faller B905 building or LifeLike 1/40th Honest John with parts they can sell/spare/trade? I need some window frames from the Faller and just a couple of parts from the HJ RE: 2001 USA Space Nuke - JAWS - 07-03-2014 I have Honest John Lee. What do you need? RE: 2001 USA Space Nuke - LeeS - 07-05-2014 Hey! I'm after one of these for a start: [/url] From what I can tell it doesn't matter which one. There's another piece used that I've not locked down yet, comparing a kit scan to the ref pics now :-) Thanks, L RE: 2001 USA Space Nuke - LeeS - 07-17-2014 Well with the help of ya'll out there I have a few parts found and a bunch of kits on the way. I decided to take what look like possible kit parts and put them in one picture: https://www.flickr.com/photos/lee_stringer/14486845019/in/set-72157645551927803
