Next up on the workbench will be the Atomic CIty Mercury Capsule. I
read all the obvious stuff on the net but was wondering if anyone else
had some hints or tips. I hope to start in a couple of weeks right
after doing a little cruise ship deal to Cabo, Puerto Vallarta, and
Mazatlan (:>

For a great start in working with the Atomic City Mercury spacecraft,
try http://www.mercuryspacecraft.com/wiki/Main_Page

Rick's page on the Mercury Spacecraft and building this kit has to be
one of the best single links on the subject.
Have fun modeling!
Mike

Agree completely, Rick's site plus the CD-ROM that is/was available from
Atomic City Models were my major references. Finished mine a few weeks
ago. Nice kit, would happily do another one. Decaling is a bit of a
chore, particularly the registration stripes on the retro pack. Gunze Mr
Softer did a reasonable job on the big "United States" markings which
will take a lot of settling over the corrugations.

Cheers,

Mark

Is Atomic City now gone? I know they sold the tooling for the mercury
capsule to MRC. I was trying to find a link to buy the CD-ROM with no
luck.
