Welcome to Launchpad Spacecraft!
Launchpad Spacecraft is made up of a team of highly motivated modelers, builders and artists who are driven to create the most accurate, detailed, and enjoyable scale model spacecraft for you.
Our team does the time consuming research, the tedious building, and the exacting painting, to produce highly detailed scale replicas. We specialize in models from the United States Space Industry, including NASA's Mercury/Redstone, Mercury/Atlas, Gemini/Titan and Apollo/Saturn V Rocket Projects and also Space Shuttle Missions. The models, replicas and artifacts we produce are are high fidelity museum quality exhibits. We provide many special effects and enhancements to our models you won't find anywhere else. We feel that these enhancements give the models more flash and sparkle that will capture and inspire the viewers imagination.

Here are some comments from our customers.
"Launchpad Spacecraft has taken the modeling of historic space vehicles to a whole new level. My model of Liberty Bell 7 is so detailed that it almost looks as though they have somehow shrunk an actual Mercury spacecraft; I am especially impressed with the minute details on the capsule's exterior, such as the C & S band antennas, reaction control thrusters, and even tiny lettering identifying the assorted fluid fill fittings around the base."
"It is well made with the highest attention paid to detail throughout the entire capsule. The added features of fiber optic lights which blink randomly and the rescue beacon that activates by tapping the capsule really bring the model to life.
The paint job is immaculate and the fact that it can be tailored to any of the missions along with the 10 second sound chip make it a great item for the collector or museum interested in a complete set.
This model is by far the best work I have seen in a plastic model in over 10 years."
I have had the pleasure of working with Jeff Teel and Launchpad Spacecraft. Jeff and his team fabricate the most incredible scale model reproductions of spacecraft that I have ever seen.
Their work can only be described as "Out Of This World." The attention to detail and meticulous craftsmanship is expressed in all aspects of their models from construction to finishing.
The added details such as working lights and audio recreations bring these fantastic replicas to life.
I have their mercury spacecraft on display and when people look at it their first reaction is WOW!!!!!
Do not look any further than Launchpad Spacecraft for all your model spacecraft reproductions. They are simply the best.
Very truly yours,
