The Project
Here are some photos of a scratch-built Sputnik. This is a simple
model that can be made in an afternoon. Materials are easy to find:
a ball, some sprue and an iron wire. The first picture depicts
the material. The following ones show the Sputnik before it is
painted (antennas supports are sealed with super glue and a piece
of wire). On the base you can find a plastic tube that will be
used to fix the model on a support. It has been painted with Humbrol
11 after a primer had been airbrushed. The antennas are not sealed
as the model is a gift for a friend and I’ll have to travel
with it. Making this model was very fun. It has a size that is
very pleasant and the main difficulty was avoiding the dust.
