This is eventually going to be a vignette depicting the launching of the
Bell X-1 rocket plane on the day the sound barrier was broken. Academy-Minicraft's
1/144 scale B-29A Superfortress kit is being converted to the B-29 "Mother
Ship" with a scratch-built X-1 in the same scale. Started in 1999, the
X-1 was completed one year later and can be seen HERE.
The B-29 may one day be finished. At least I have a really nice display
stand for the pair. |

This resin kit of the little robot from the 1972 film Silent Running
is by Posigrade Creations. This model was started in 2001 and is very close
to completion. |

This is Lindberg's kit of the sleek X-Plane, started in 2008, also close
to being completed. All of the markings were created using basic drawing
and word processing software and laser-printed onto clear decal film. |

This is Skyhook Models' resin kit of the cartoon spacecraft. Started in
2005, it's primed and waiting to be painted. Again, the display base is
completed but the model has some work remaining. |

Moebius Models originally produced this 3 inch long kit to be boxed with
their big Seaview and later released it as a stand-alone kit. This model
needs just a little clean-up to be finished. |
