I,m baack......a new start on an old Apollo
I have not been around here for a while (sorry)
I recently introduced my nephew to paper models and with the Apollo anniversary; that is all it took to get me hooked. So I have started a 1:48 and have decided to do a few modifications along the way. I just hope I remember how to do this!! Thanks for looking ~ |

Hello Rocky,
1:48, that will become a monster!!! The engines are an amazing clean work, that will be exciting.

That's a nice "Step back" you have going there. Is this Ton's Saturn 5? If so, you will have an excellent model to display proudly. I love that you are getting your nephew introduced to the hobby.

Oh how I long for Greelt to finish the stack....
Say, didn't someone here say they were going to finish it in the same style?

First to spacerunner,bernoullis,and dhanners: Thanks! It is always nice to hear encouraging words!
Gideon, I think ennder and Paper Kosmonaut answered that one, however I downloaded it last week as per legal01. I have a couple of questions though,(since no one mentioned them;I kinda feel like your trying to be nice.) 1. the retro rockets: does any one know what color they are supposed to be? I only found two B&W photos and one diagram that I used to make them from. 2. the uprated F1s: do the propellant ducts,over board dump lines,actuators,etc.(this REALLY is a Frankenstein) look passable or(be honest) should I have left them alone? 3. The service module looks fantastic legal01 !!! Really great work. And maybe it is the photo,or the way I am looking at it but on the capsule, shouldn't the troughs for the windows be flush at the front? In pics 5 and 8 they look real sunk in? Humbly Rocky |
