BODY DOUBLE

Its amazing what's on the 3d printing site Shapeways.

Here's a gorgeous little Lifting Body Space Glider a la Project SWORD and Triang SpaceX.

I wonder what else is on there!

    That's an M2-F2 lifting body, like the one in the opening of "The Six Million Dollar Man" credits.

    Oh, and if anyone ever wanted to know:
    The pilot of the lifting body that crashed on the film survived!

    1. Glad he survived. M2 F2 is the inspiration for quite a few vintage space toys too Scott, which I collect. I've just got a yellow one!

    2. It's actually the M2-F3, having the extra tail in the middle. After the crash the M2-F2 was repaired and upgraded with the tail and new number. More here:

  2. Nice stuff! That's still a bit beyond my 3D modelling skills ATM. I'm still struggling to make a nice Zero-X MEV...
