Pascal used transparant acrylic, styreen, brass, copper, iron nuts & bolts,, little electronic parts, and other stuff to create this cutaway model of Spunik 1. He electroplated the interior of one hemisphere with copper and electroplated the exterior with silver. The other hemisphere is transparent with half of it painted to give it a cutaway effect. The stand is made to represent an old industrial USSR look. He says it took about a month to complete the project.
