Corona virus pauses model
Dear all
As the virus gets a hold in the UK the Saturn V model has had to be put on pause as the model lives in my office at my work which has been sealed. Who knows when it will be reopened but until then I shall try to continue the the life size Buzz and Neil models whenever possible. Try and keep safe Regards Kevin

I’ve just come across this thread.
I’ve only just discovered that paper modelling is a thing. To then see this is just incredible! Absolutely astounding! I haven’t read the full thread yet, but I will be doing! |

update and offer
Dear all
So it is just over a year since lockdown started here and my office and building were sealed. During that time a very limited access was allowed to my office for a few hours a few months ago after which is was re-sealed (which is the current state at time of writing). The big 1/24 scale model all seems fine it its storage boxes (they did not seem to have been moved). You may recall I was also building the 1/48 model at the same time. Unfortunately this (along with a number of other things) has been badly damaged during the office being "deep cleaned". My current thinking is that I will not rebuild all the damaged parts so I will not be continuing with the 1/48 model when I eventually return to the 1/24 model. I also have in my office the famemaster 4D vision Saturn V 4D MASTER and 4D vision space shuttle 4D MASTER They were also damaged so when everything opens up I will have a go at repairing them. Looking at them and thinking about having to repair them got me to thinking that these would make fantastic paper models. Of course I do not have the knowledge or skill to design such things. But if anyone who does design wants to look into such a project I am more than happy to take a number of photos of these models along with any measurements if that would help them. Just a thought Regards Kevin

Ugh. That's a shame about the damage to the 1/48th-scale build. That's got to hurt. There are times we tell ourselves, "It's only paper. I can rebuild it," but the fact is, we -- and you in this instance -- put in a lot of hard work.
I hope this is a reminder to folks to get vaccinated and wear a mask. We need to stop this pandemic. |

Planned restart to finish 1/24 Saturn V
Dear all
It is almost exactly 2 years since I had to stop work on the final bits of the Saturn V due to corona virus pandemic. Where I live things have opened up enough that I can resume work on the model. At the time when the pandemic hit where I live, I was trying to finish off the interstage between stage 2 and stage 3 (the conical section). There were just a few small parts that needed adapting (that came with the model) that needed fitting (namely the black and white motion targets and the retro rocket covers). You can see some of them at the bottom of this picture of Apollo 11 at liftoff (picture from NASA) However I had also wanted to represent some of the internal structure. In fact made a number of "beams" but was not very happy with them when I tried them out in a dry fit (they looked too chunky and clumsy I thought) so did not fit them (see below) Recently I was given some A1 size white "poster card" which has given me an idea to have another go at the internal structure. Hopefully this will be a better result than my previous idea/attempt Regards Kevin
