Space Shuttle




Academy Space Shuttle in 1/288 scale. "OV-105 Endeavour" made 25 missions between 1992 and 2011.
To be honest I don't know why I bought this kit. The scale isn't of any interest to me.
(Model finished 2004)





But I bought it and built it as well. The shuttle is covered with tiles and I wondered on how to get a surface that wasn't just a single white and black. Finally, I decided to draw a tile pattern and print it on clear decal paper.







 

A genuine space ship


The Swedish word for space shuttle is Rymdfärja, Space ferry.
(Model finished 2004)



So I decided to have some fun and build a true space ship.



I used the Academy 1/288 space shuttle kit as a base for this conversion and added parts fom a Revell 1/1200 cruise ship.



Silja Line is one of the ship companies that run ferrys between Sweden and Finland so I marked my ferry like that.
