As I've said in other postings, next after cars, I love to build models from space ships. And here are two from the 1950's ready to launch. First up is Glencoe Model's 3 Stage Ferry Rocket. This a repop of the old Strombecker/Disney kit from the mid 50's. This is a Wernher von Braun design done for Disney's Man in Space episode on the 1950's Disneyland TV show. I'm very lucky to have the original series on DVD. So I did this model up to look as close as possible to how it was seen on show. Even though the TV show was done in the mid 1950's, Walt had the fore site to film it in color for later theatrical release. The second rocket is the Monogram Willy Ley Passenger Rocket. This is the late 90's SSP repop of the original late 50's version. Both were fun kits to build with very few problems. If I had a better camera for posting these pictures, I would have loved to show you more detail of each kit. There are some fun things you can not see in these photos. Scott
