A New Link Added to My List as of today

As of today one of my long time colleague's, Mike Mackowski,  released a document that I had finally tracked down for him (and others) on the Winged Gemini from McDonnell Douglas. It has been on the holy grail list of documents for over 50 years. [More information to follow later]

As he tells it:
In the summer of 2019 my colleague, Mike Eastman, finally found a paper on this design while digging through pdf files from NTRS. It was labelled McDonnell Douglas Report E-045 on the Winged Gemini. It was not listed under Gemini, rather he found it under internal correspondence listed with reports associated with ASSET. I have attached the report at this link: Winged Gemini Report.

He also has several photos of the model that he had built before I found the document. His Blog has presented questions that he is looking for on the further/future uses planned for Gemini.  Excellent site and I am currently pursuing answers to help fill out those questions.

New addition to my Page: Robots - Drawings and Sketches


The update will show some preliminary drawings/sketches that I did for a robot cover for Crazed Plastic Publication.  I had (still having) fun doing some doodles of this and as I comb thru my folders on artwork, I will add them to this page. A couple of previews are below.



To view some of the detailed drawings and sketches go to: Robots - Drawings and Sketches.
