Description
This time back to vintage "what if" spacecrafts (I really like this theme)!
Convair Manned Lunar Reconnaissance Vehicle
In 1958 inspired German-born rocket engineer Krafft Ehricke, working for Convair areospace company, designed a Manned Lunar Reconnaisance Vehicle. The design was popularised as an official scale plastic model by Strombecker in 1958.
The Lunar Reconnaissance Vehicle was a fully powered spacecraft, one capable of leaving Earth's orbit. Its mission: To chart the lunar surface in preparation for a manned moon landing.
This is my 3D replica of the original model kit box with the actual grapic layout and writings. I try to reproduce the original vintage feel and palette.
I give you as a wallpaper gift in 1440x627, so open it in FULL-SIZE... I hope you like it! :)
Rendered and modelled with custom textures in Bryce 7, postwork with Photoshop 7 and Dynamic-Photo HDR.
The original file is 4000x1742 pixels.

This brings me back a ways... Cool looking retro sci-fi model!
Excellent image. I have this and all the other Glencoe versions of the model waiting to be built - one day.
Wonderful idea/presentation and retro-design! :)
You hit that feel really well, I've seen models like this in some of the collector's shows. Great job!
Nicely done. Excellent lighting. Bravo my friend.
Excellent scene; modeling and lighting! Corrie
Excellent modeling, texturing and lighting.

All is excellent ! Very impressive creation !
Superb job! I remember this well, because that little plexiglass canopy always made me laugh. You have certainly done justice to the original. Bravo, my friend!
Excellent take on a vintage Convair design -- very well done!
Great looking model of a model... Excellent presentation!
superb modelling and scene
You have refreshed fond memories of my dreams of space flight. Thanks :)
Atomic Rockets, for the win! Nice rendition of the box-art.
This is really so cool. But would be better as a desktop without the lettering. : )
I built so many rocket models in the 60's growing up; a wonderful piece of nostalgia for me.
