AMT Man in Space 1/200, Part 3

Well, I have ignored updating this blog for a long time.  There was quite a bit of activity on the project during the interim.  And there was a lot of inactivity, too, unfortunately.  So, to help right the ship, I'll just post some updated photos of the kits in progress/completed.  First up, the Man in Space set.

Saturn V before primer
Saturn V before priming
Here is the Saturn V complete, minus the escape tower, before priming.  Note the Saturn IB in the background, also pre-priming.
Gemini Titan, before decals, with the Mercurys
Gemini Titan, sans decals
 The Gemini Titan, mounted next to the completed Mercury kits (and the Saturn IB in the background).  Note the flat gray for the metallic areas on the Titan, as well as the Atlas.  I opted to go for the illusion of the bare metal color, as metallic paints on this scale tend to destroy the scale appearance.














Gemini Titan and the Mercurys
The completed Gemini Titan looks good with the decals.
Saturn IB completed
Saturn IB before decals
Here we have the Saturn IB, before decals and escape tower (on the left), and completed (on the right).
And the queen of the set, the Saturn V, complete.
