1:350 Enterprise for the Curtis Hughes Collection by SPACECRAFT CREATION MODELS

Artist Steve Carricato once again brings us a build he did for the Curtis Hughes Collection…. nicely done!

I finished another commission build of The TOS enterprise for Curtis Hughes. I used the Polar lights lighting kit, which was not as easy at it seemed. I had to solder all of the LED light strips to insure they would make contact. The kit comes with siding pins to make contact for the LED strips, put they fail and come apart once they are glued in. It was very frustrating thinking the lights were ready to be installed in the model, so I ended up taking some of the model apart once I had it together. However, it came out just fine once I modified the lighting system. Price for a commission build of the TOS 1:350 Enterprise Like this one $1200.00 USD and $49...

1:32 Service Command Module by Steve Carricato for the Curtis Hughes Collection

I love real space model builds… especially that of the Apollo missions! Here is a beautiful build of a specialized Revell kit that Steve Carricato did for the Curtis Hughes Collection. I love this stuff!

DY-100b DSV 008

I finished the 1/32 scale Service Command Module for Curtis Hughes. The Model is the Revell model kit with added photo- ected dash boards and control, along with three 1/32 scale resin Astronauts.  I added foil and wires to the detailed Module. The Astronauts I sent out to friend to be painted. Curtis wanted his model to be accurate like the real one!  The whole commission build took 11 months, 3 weeks to complete ! Hope you like it?

Thanks Steven Carricato

Curtis Hughes’ 1:144 Apollo 7 by Steven Caricatto

I finished the First Apollo 7 manned flight mission on John Glens 50th anniversary into Space! I built this one for Curtis Hughes. It took two weeks to complete. Scale 1/144 which is very a small model measuring only 18.2” in height. I used tin foil for the SCM (Service Command Module) which gave it that bare metal look. I super detail the command module with styrene to make the radiator’s vents look real on the SCM.

Steve Carricato – NASA – 1:24 Gemini Capsule for the Curtis Hughes Collection

This is a build for collector Curtis Hughes from the Revell Gemini Kit by artist Steve Carricato. This was one unique real space capsules due to the windows giving it more of a ‘piloted’ craft look. Nicely done!
This build reminds me of one of the Astronaut’s story’s….. Richard Gordon of Gemini 11, and Apollo 12. I spent some time with Richard one afternoon as he told story after story of his space flights. On the Gemini 11 mission, along with Pete Conrad, he did a few EVA space-walks to retrieve some sort of nuclear experiment. He told me that he was out and about for hours….watching the Earth rotate beneath him. He told me it was so relaxing that he actually fell asleep on the walk! Conrad had to wake him!
