AXM's Delta IV Heavy with "Orion"
Hello everyone...
Back in January I built Alfonso's "Orion EFT-1". It is a very good looking model and very enjoyable to build. With his resent release of the Delta IV Heavy lifter I cannot pass up the opportunity to complete my "EFT-1". Looking at the printed pages it appears this Delta will build up to a fine replica of it's full scale counter part. I plan to build the kit "right out of the box". Any minor changes will be noted during the building process. So lets get started! The Orion below is the one I built this past January. I will be building a new one for this Delta IV Heavy. The pictures below show all the Common Booster Core "CBCs" cut out and the gluing tabs on. The other pictures show all CBC sections rolled. More later... Bill

Hey Bill,
 have you glued stiffeners into the rolled CBCs for stabilization, that everything looks perfectly round? What scale is it?

Alfonso`s Delta Heavy is in 1/96th scale along with his Orion EFT-1. The pictures above are just the rolled tubes at this point. When the connecting strips are added to the CBC sections I will be installing support rings into the center of all connections. Pictures coming soon! Thank You for tuning in!More coming soon... Bill

It is getting hot (days will get up to 120 F) so we'll spend a lot of time indoors. Good for modeling....

I`m glad to hear that you are "making do". I guess that any type of "internet mail order" doesn`t apply to well to your location? I had spent some time in Arizona (about 3 years) and it was hot......but it did not compare with the 120 that you are experiencing! I can`t imagine that prolonged heat! Later... Bill

AXM`s Delta IV Heavy with Orion...
Hello everyone...
I have some assembly pictures below. The first picture is of support rings that I made up to use at all CBC skin connecting points. They worked out very well and add a quite amount of strength to the CBC skins. Thank you Alfonso for this Delta as everything has fit extremely well at this point! I have no doubt that the rest will be no different! The remaining pictures have text on them to explain the procedure. Later... Bill

Hello Bill,
very clean and accurate work.  The technique reminds me of my old aircraft models of paper about 50 years ago, I built in my childhood, long, long time ago.
