- Putting finishing touches on the
Gemini
|
In 1997, Guard~Lee had the privilege
of building replica set pieces for Tom Hanks' From the
Earth to the Moon. Full size, high fidelity Mercury,
Gemini and Apollo Capsules were designed to be taken apart for
filming while maintaining authentic detail and scale. In addition,
Guard~Lee was given the task of restoring LM-13, one of
the only remaining original Lunar Modules. The restored LM was
used in the lunar excursion sequences. Guard~Lee also supported
the production with props work, space research and on-set technical
aid. |
