Enjoy your vacation! Nice work as always.
Project Mercury Launch Complex and Atlas rocket
- Thread starter ProfKSergeev
- Start date
In some respects—that is what space launch **should** look like.
Complex—far beyond the ken of normal men…and yet..Elon dares to enlarge past the Saturns and their greater pageant of umbilicals…but simplify the pad. It strikes me as heresy!
But that it is what is needed for space…and I understand that one of the properties Elon is expanding into is along…wait for it:
Billy Mitchell Boulevard.
Worry not. The child of the Orbit Jet and Rocketship XM is still half silver…and it—and nothing else—should have followed Atlas. They would look great together in fact. There is a drawing of Atlas next to Nexus. Time for a redraw.
Speaking of Rocketship XM…new effects were added. Time to do that again….but with Starship.

This project is finally complete and the VFX footage in the can. Rather than post all seventy-one photos I've added to Flickr since my last update here, I'll share a link to the entire folder where all may be viewed in high resolution and post five stills of the miniatures as they were lit for shooting. Thanks, everybody! On to the next challenge.
Breathtaking!! Well done, the detail on this beast is amazing/crazy. What’s going to happen to the models?
That is a spectacular achievement, Top notch attention to detail! I can't wait to see the final film!

That was a great read! Amazing build! Btw, whatever happened to Gwendolyn? Haha!The teeniest of them all. Her name is Gwendolyn and she loves me.

If you haven't already considered it, posting this project in the nasaspaceflight.com Spaceflight Entertainment and Hobbies forum section would cause a lot of the space geek/nerds (like me) and professional industry types to flip out. Would also be good for the film sales.
Don't know how I missed this thread. The build is an absolute beauty.

Thank you! Gwendolyn is alive and well ... in a box with all the other jigs I had to build for this.
