Orion Launch Complex

[saturnapollo]

Having purchased a Moebius Orion kit (well two actually - one in USAA livery), I then complicated things by deciding to convert an old Airfix kit into an Orion 1 carrier aircraft. As if that wasn't difficult enough I then built a launch complex. Everything being inspired by the description in the novel.

Here are a few shots of the finished results. More can be seen here (scroll to the bottom of the page)

Great pics as usual! I love the lighting of the gantrys of the launch site. The one of Heywood Floyd coming in on his flight and seeing his ship being prepared for launch is great.

Thanks, guys. Glad you liked 'em!

The Floyd one is a scene directly lifted from the novel.
