Profiles In History

Check this out.

I found this listing in a Profiles auction catalog. Read the description. Look at the painting.



Now look at the model I'm building.



Apollo 13 dream sequence? No.

Andy Griffith cheesy TV show. Yes.

LOL

I remember that movie - didn&#39;t they run a salvage company and fly to the moon to pick up all the apollo crap that got left behind. IIRC the command module was from a cement mixer truck.

Yes.

Salvage was the pilot movie.

Salvage 1 the show.

Silly rabbit - don&#39;t you remember that scene in Apollo 13 where Tom Hanks dreams about sending Andy Griffith to the moon in a cement mixer?

I always remember the quest for the Monohydrazine.

Lee

Quest?

That was just the fuel they used.

You may be mistaking that with the Robinsons always drilling for duetronium(sp?).

PIH caught again&#33;

Well my memory may be clouded but I thought they had a hard time making/getting the fuel but heck wehn I was a kid I thought it was cool. Yeah Quest is probably inaccurate.

man their listings are always messed up...

Could that have been an in-joke on Ron Howard&#39;s part? He is Andy&#39;s "son" after all...

Now that would be cool.

But that painting has been around way longer than Apollo 13. I remember it being in magazines and article about Salvage back when it was made.
