This model is a 3D printed 1:1 scale replica of a Langley Research Center Mercury Spacecraft wind tunnel model. This model was sold at auction in 2009 for almost $10,000, but this highly acurate model can be your for $30 + shipping! The model is shipped as a kit as the parts are a bit too delicate to ship as a completed model. The kit comprises of approximately 20, printed-in-color parts made of PLA and Silk PLA. The kit includes a tube of superglue and a jig for setting the main truss of the Launch Escape Tower. The assembled spaecraft and base stand about 12 inches tall.
Custom-designed by Retrorocket Emblems, these Starship replica heat tile coasters are based on the actual hexagonal heat shield tiles from the SpaceX starship. The bottom mimics the underside complete with mounting hardware. These are made of PLA so they are NOT heat-resistant, so they are better for cold drinks. They are four inches wide which is about 1/2 scale from the original items as mounted on Starship.
They come sets of two coasters and are made to order.
These are 3D printed items and will have some artifacts and importfections that are a part of the 3D printing process.
Retrorocket Emblems is excited to offer these 1:1 scale replica 'Space Coke" dispenser can toppers. These are exacting replicas of the cans that were producded in a 1985 for STS-51D when the "cola wars" took to the final frontier of space! They feature a functional locking mechanism and removable cap, however the actual dispenser lever is fixed and does not operate. There are two types, one that fits an actual can from 1985 and a lid that fits the easier-to-find plastic replica space can that was sold at the Space Camp gift shop. The dispenser that fits an actual can is designed to fit the wider rim of vintage cans, not modern soda cans. CANS ARE NOT INCLUDED.
Update: The Space Camp lid also fits a modern can with the sloped top.
I wish I was able to sell them with a vintage can but they are extremely hard to find and they have a premium price due to a surge in interest due to the television series, "Stranger Things".
Both style will include vintage blue hook-and-loop tape and a replica product label if you wish to afix them to complete the look.
They feature real metal hardware.
These replicas are 3D printed and will have some characteristics that are a result of that process.
Retrorocket Emblems is now offering replica models of the vintage Douglas Aircraft contractor models of their S-IVB and S-IV stage and cowlings on transporter/carriers. The original contractor models are extremely rare and only come up for auction every few years. Retrorocket Emblems has recreated a tribute to these originals in 1/80th scale using custom 3D printed components. These replicas are not identical, but are tributes to the original using more detailed components, but retain coloration of the originals.
Each model is 3D printed in full color and take about a week to produce.
You can order either one of three options:
You alsop have the option of ordering them as a kit (challenging) or asssembled.
This is a replica of a hard to find contractors model that depicts the confguration of the ESA Spacelab for STS-9. It is a 3D printed model with decals attached to a real walnut base. Internal pieces can be removed for display, and node and pallet can be removed from display. Colors and details are as close as possible with some liberties taken with the rack configurations. Colors may vary slightly.
