Apollo Saturn V & IB LUT and Milk Stool Kits

[lox_501]

Hi everybody, I'm new to this forum and excited about it. I just want to alert anyone out there who is proud of our nations achievement of our past accomplishments in our space program - one in particular - the Apollo Program sending our astronauts to the moon. Well a good friend of mine has made in paper model kits the hardware launch pads for these vehicles. Here's a link where you can purchase the 1/144 LUT kit for the Saturn V 1/144 scale for the Airfix or Revell/Modogram Saturn V kit.

I have both his 1:96 LUT and Crawler. Just waiting till I can find the time and the space for them. What I would realy like to do is scale them up to 1:48 and build a complete Saturn 5 from Greelt for on them. Just have to wait till I build a room with 15 foot cealings.

I'm trying to convince my good friend who makes these wonderful kits of our Apollo era to make two more kits to complete this part of the program, and that's the Skylab workshop in orbit configuration and the massive VAB all done in 1/144 scale, if we all can email him and get him to re-think this over he might do it. Here's his email address.

his name is Dave. :)

Hey Liquid

I doubt that Dave will like the sudden influx of spam that you will be sending his way, by posting his email.

Here's one of Dave's masterpiece of a replica of the Genius Rock from Apollo 15 in exact detailing. I own this and man does it look like the real lunar rock.
Here's the ebay address for it.

Here's what my friend Dave's other Apollo related model kits he's selling.

These kits are excellent in details and are printed on hard stock paper which will support a plastic Saturn V or IB kit. They are printed from a high quality photo printer on photo finish paper. Here's his other ebay URL:

Dave and I ( the owner of the kits ) put a lot of sweat and tears of hard work on the detailing aspect.

Here's a neat companion kit for this Saturn V LUT or Ib kit with Milk Stool configuration - is the crawler used to transport these launch vehicles from the VAB to launch pad. This crawler kit even fooled me at one time thinking I was looking at the real thing. :eek:
