a herculean task

I've for some time considered the USAF Nike Hercules to have been the inspiration for the Project SWORD Probe Force 1 in 1967.

To test this theory a little more I decided today to simulate Nikes with Probe Force 1 toys.

This is the USAF Nike Hercules online picture I chose to simulate.

I then set up my two Probe Force 1 toys in the bedroom window to give me access to a sky blue background.

Not being a naturally talented photographer I battled with the brightness of the sunlit sky

But eventually, with the USAF shot in mind..

I got this silhouette

OK, they are at different angles but it was the overall shape I was after.

What do you think?
