Ton's Saturn I is a treat - even at 50% for a 1:200 scale (OK, 1:192 for you pros out there). Even leaving out "invisible" detail at that scale, it still retains a lot more than a straight tube feel. Did the last three using bond paper for the first stage tanks, easier to work and strong enough. I think I'm up to the halfway point if I carry it up to the ARES V/Direct (Vostok/Soyuz/Long March yes, Nova/Buran no).

Next up is Leo's early Vostok design (half size of course, because I'm just not that smart I guess). I'll try it in bond paper first; worked well for the little Mercury/Gemini. Or, maybe I'll do a FG MiG-15 to pair the F-86 for a change up.

Just wanted to add my comments on the great small scale builds you have done. Very clean!
