Carlos, Horizon Models makes a Mercury Atlas and Redstone in 1/72 scale. I have both of them that I got at the Phoenix Nationals. They are next on my list of models to start. Don't know about a Gemini; did they use a different rocket than the Atlas and Redstone?
X-15 eh? I guess I'll have to go looking for one of those.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.
Yes, the Gemini spacecraft used a Titan missile for the launch.
Revellogram made the X-15. Hopefully they will re issue that kit for you.

Thanks Carlos! Now to go pack for the meeting tonight.

Thanks Stuart! I'm so thrilled to have finished this finally.

Mark, pretty soon you’re gonna have a rocket garden to rival Kennedy Space Center

Carlos, I would love to have a collection like that! I do still need one more Real Space model to make it an official collection of five models.

Official at five? Is this like cards with five of a kind, or of the same Suite?

That's a great looking build. My concerns in terms of shelf space have always been horizontal. Clearly you have vertical concerns! Well done. I was active in the San Diego IPMS group years ago and I'm certain they would like to see this. David Weeks was a big real space builder down here.
I think you need an X-15 to round out the US manned space craft collection...
