Thanks Steve! The last moon diorama this year people, from the kit New Ware "The Last Men on the Moon," scale 1/24. The theme calls spilling is killing... ![](http://www.collectspace.com/review/apolloprojeckt/pg02/phlastmenonmoon1.jpg) ![](http://www.collectspace.com/review/apolloprojeckt/pg02/phlastmenonmoon11.jpg) Both visors this time in red copper (gold are these days to expensive) but almost the same result. There also selfmade two little brass hammers and Schmitt cracks a moon rock and Cernan is spilling moonsand and it drops on the surface... Size diorama nine inch by four inch, weight six pounds. |

It's December, for some model builders the month of leftovers -- styrene parts, paint and more -- or a broken space shuttle toy someone has almost thrown away.The booster was very damaged and I have made a new one out of styrene, then made a new base and with a spray can PU Foam to make launch clouds, here and there paint details and you have something new for on the desk. Throwing it away is sometimes a pity. the name: "Atlantis, you are go at throttle up..." ![](http://www.collectspace.com/review/apolloprojeckt/pg02/018.jpg)

Here the end result of a diorama with a piece real space and science fiction together. The astronaut with MMU pick up a Belgium/Dutch solar panel unit in space. The solar panel is broken, it can not more close for 100%. The astronaut is a toy figure, the MMU is made self by me and the solar panel also. The MMU and astronaut has got after put together a layer copper on it, that was for two reasons, it becomes stronger and visor has a nice mirror look. Theme calls recovery mission by MMU shuttle astronaut: ![](http://www.collectspace.com/review/apolloprojeckt/pg02/Afbeelding_082.jpg)

I have several of Pascal's displays and he continues to amaze me. I visited him several times and I can assure you he is a real artist but most of all a great guy.Keep up the good work in 2011 Pascal!!! |

I already did. My study has become a Hecker museum, I can tell you. As I said before Pascal is a great artist and a great friend.He has so many ideas and I never tell him what I want, just the theme, and then he comes up with something incredibly good. I have some models that have better detail than Code 3 and they are the only model that exist, so quite original and a joy to look at every day. |

I'm busy with a few dioramas. First a big one with two astronauts.And I made a brass tool carrier with canvas holder with some extra tooks, such a kamer, scoop, all 1/16 out of brass... a little sweet model on his own. And as last a layer real silver over it. It's now become one piece. ![](http://www.collectspace.com/review/apolloprojeckt/pg02/Afbeelding_333~0.jpg) ![](http://www.collectspace.com/review/apolloprojeckt/pg02/alan%25202.jpg)

Thanks alexbaja. Here the first of three memorial dioramas, this one was built for a friend in the Netherlands. He wanted to have one related to Christa McAuliffe of STS-51L. ![](http://www.collectspace.com/review/apolloprojeckt/pg02/Afbeelding_005.jpg) ![](http://www.collectspace.com/review/apolloprojeckt/pg02/Afbeelding_025.jpg)

Pascal - as usual your art if fantastic. What is the symbolism behind the cut up American flag and shapes on the Christa McAuliffe memorial display? |

Thanks garymilgrom, that was for the slight effect on the diorama with a light (shadow), if it was close, there was a too much dark effect on the figure... |

Well I guess I read too much into it as I thought of it as the broken hearts of all Americans that day. |

Here the last diorama out of the three series, this one is in memorial of Apollo 13 astronaut Jack Swigert. A lot of work to change this Reheat 1/16 figure. I have change the suit details, real glass bubble helmet, one pov in his hand with real layer silver on it and much more details. The bubble helmet was a very fragile job.This them calls: "I'm gonna give these guys a beautiful ride." ![](http://www.collectspace.com/review/apolloprojeckt/pg02/Afbeelding_007_%285%29~11.jpg) ![](http://www.collectspace.com/review/apolloprojeckt/pg02/Afbeelding_025~17.jpg)

Thanks people. I use still spray cans Steve, with car paint and primer, but I'm have buy me a compressor to learn also paint with that. But it's goes not easy as I thought. I think a question of time. |

They're all great, but I took a closer look at your slideshow of the Skylab build and so now have a better sense of how small that model actually is. Very impressive work! |
