In and among other projects I have been slowly completely this over the past month: it's one of those projects that requires many long stages idle for cement or paint to dry really well before going on, so I worked on it in between similar stages on several other projects, such as the 4-6-6 tank engine.

 

Titan is scale size and scratch-built: 2.5" PVC pipe and various bottle tops, scrap sprues from model kits, etc. for the combustion champers and all.  Gemini is the Revell kit.  Building it was easier and took less time than painting it, which required multiple passes with detail masking, etc.  

 

I built everything up to this one in order: Explorer 1, Vanguard, Little Joe, Mercury-Redstone, but skipped Mercury-Atlas.  I'll back up and get it but for some reason it is my least favorite.  I will eventually do two Atlas rockets , one for Mercury and one for Agena. Not sure when.  

 

 It fits together into the complete rocket, although I do not have a launch platform made for it.  About 26 inches long.

It fits on two big flatcars.  I realize the capsule never would have been transported with the second stage, etc., but this is fantasy anyway and it looks good!

No, they clear - just barely, but they do.  I can run all but the biggest scale articulated steamers - things like Mallets run okay, its only the Allegheny, Big Boy and Yellowstone, etc., that I have to remove tunnel portals, trees and a building or two for, etc.  None of these are quite as bad sticking out as say the Legacy Mallet, etc, so they make it around.   I expect Atlas to be a problem though, when I get it built.  While not larger than Titan its main stage is longer than Titan's.
