During 2009 - 2010 we produced and
supplied to various NASA Space Centers over 30 1:100 scale
models of International Space Station. Most of the models were
produced in Standard Edition, which is developed for
presentations. All logistics vehicles (except Space Shuttle)
included in Standard Edition are painted in dark metallic color,
monochrome. This way logistics vehicles are being color coded
and visually separated from the Space Station's configuration.
Standard Edition includes only one figurine of space suited
astronaut and a cargo bay of a Space Shuttle's Replica is empty.

A Luxury Edition of the ISS Model was
developed for Visitor and Educational NASA Space Centers. A
painting scheme of a model in Luxury Edition is richer and more
detailed. All logistics vehicles are painted in realistic
colors, with high attention to details. Up to 5 astronaut
figurines are included and grouped into scenes depicting
loading/unloading, repairs or maintenance in certain areas. Such
scenes might be customized based on specific requirements from
particular Visitor or Educational Center. Space Shuttle
replica's cargo bay contains a generic payload. Additional
components or scenery elements can be added to the configuration
upon request.
While Standard Edition models are designed
to be effective, highly functioning and self-explanatory meeting
and presentation tools, Luxury edition is a museum type version
of ISS model. This version is meant for permanent installation,
provides much more realistic view on the International Space
Station and oriented to specifics of Visitor or Educational NASA
Center in which the model is exhibited.
Because the Luxury Edition is meant for
permanent display it is usually less articulating, which
benefits model's durability and a lifespan. These models also do
not have to be accompanied by highly expansive custom transit
case.
All models in Luxury Edition are produced
in compliance with museum conservation and preservation
requirements. |
