TTA Proximan K13 Shark

Thanks y'all The first kits will come out when Somebody comes up with the several gallons of mold making material and resin it would take to cast them  That thing is like 14 inches long

Typical PSR session
The Hydrogen Collectors are still not actually attached for ease of sanding

This is looking really really good even at this stage

Thanks bubba. Pictures sometimes lie

I've been enjoying your TTA stuff Ron.  Although most peeps here seem to know about it, it's something that's passed me by, the first time I'd heard of it was here.  All these builds look great & true to the drawings.  This one's continuing that trend.

[sotoolslinger]

Thanks Mossie. They are probably out of your demographic I think the one I am working from came out in '79 The artist that did this one is Angus Mckee who I believe is still around. Colin Hay who painted the Stingray and Hornet has died. The books are available on Amazon and such but you can sometimes find them in used book stores.

Well, I don't aboout several gallons, but hopefully folks who like these designs will be happy with slightly smaller,
and slightly different, versions of these.

I wonder about Angus McKie. He had a website up until about 2001 or so, but I've been unable to find him
on line since. I think he still has a gallery or dealer representing him, but its been awhile since I looked.

Yes Doc I personally can't wait for yours to come out. I am representing these as post war models. I am looking forward to getting yours so I can have different versions/models/marks '
What kind of timeline are we looking at?

Maybe just out, I was three when that book came out!  I vaguely remember similar books (possibly even those ones), at the local library.

Actually Stewart Cowley did a bunch of other, similar books under the psudonym Stephen Caldwell. They had somewhat inferior artwork and according to the author were basically done for quick cash There are probably 10 or 12 similarly themed books out on the market

I hope to be able to get them into the mail to Martin before the end of February, sooner if possible. From there,
we'll see.

That sounds about right, I remember them as being pretty stanard spacecraft compared to some of these.  Don't know it's related, but I remember having a colouring book full of such spacecraft too!

[sotoolslinger]

Dang now I have never seen the coloring book

[sotoolslinger]

Typical PSR . I did install the hydrogen collectors 

[Gondor]

Still looking good even when you show it has flaws. Same goes for your other TTA builds
