I found your F-1 recoloring really interesting, but I was not so brave to build them as your as showed in the The Lower Hudson Valley... I have to look for the beads, I tried to search online, but as now I cannot find something wooden or paper or... brrrrrrr... plastic! (I can't believe I said that... that... word!). The cutaway version of the Saturn V will be wonderful! Some outer shell section could be hinged so you could open and close them, but a paper hinge will finally break. Or maybe build something like 4D Vision models, with some transparent sections that show internal views, even though that implies to use... plastic! What do you mean with "wet orbital station"?

Hi Assetico,

The issue that troubles me is the fact the opened side walls bulge out a lot because of the cylindrical shape. I have to solve that issue first. Sturdier paper isn't the solution. I know what will be: plastic sheets as an internal wall between the outer (white) and inner (metallic) layer of paper. But that means an extra layer of thickness in the cylinder. I don't want that. That and the amount of detailing I want to add (anti-slosh baffles, helium tanks, plumbing, etc.) is huge. It will take a lot of patience and time. Things I don't really have at the moment. Quote:

Instrument Unit
A little progress on the Saturn V stack, this time it's up to the Instrumental Unit.
Indeed this building will not be mounted together will all the other parts, because the model is built in order to show the internals. But it's also possible to use just the outer pattern and glue it onto the third stage. I will think about it. As you can see, the circle is not perfect, there is a slight deformation and there are some fingerprints: this is the first time I built a model printed with a inkjet printer, so I learned that is very important to use latex gloves, especially with sweaty hands! The patterns are printed onto 240 gsm paper, while the filler is made of 200 gsm paper strips. Remember to color a sufficiently wide area around the border with a black felt tip pen, otherwise some white area can spot the black background.

Lem
Another part that will not belong to the stack.
I started the building some weeks ago, but I completed it just some days ago, due to a family event. Probably, the alignment of the two forward RCS and the S-band antenna is wrong, but anyway the overall look is quite acceptable.

But I want to be sincere, I'm not so expert and there are some defects in the buildings; I have deliberately take pictures without show some details revealing errors and inaccuracies. My house is small and I haven't a place to dedicate exclusively to the models, so I try to make do (I hope not for much longer!).
