I,m baack......a new start on an old Apollo

**Rocky** · #1 09-24-2014, 02:34 AM

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.

A very clean and tidy build - nice work!

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?

AFAIK this is a merger file of all parts needed to make a full Saturn V. Not an upgrade or newly designed stage bu Greelt. It's Greelt's S1C, The F1 and interstage, Fred Bouchar's SII, a tinkered version of Ton Noteboom's SIVb and an Apollo made by J Slavicek. Great to have all parts needed together but it remains a FrankenSaturn.

Impressive work so far!

The updated Saturn V with the missing stages should be available here as well, its in the moderation queue waiting for approval! In the mean time the test build of the command module and the Service Module are complete and here are the pics.

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
