Thank you Rich! Me -too!!!

Never thought of doing a story board, but it is a great idea! Have amassed a fair amount of photos and data on each, the Air Rocket folder is at 1.8gb & the Stomp Rocket folder has 2.5gb all of which is research stuff. The AutoCAD drawings are fairly small, 2.5mb or less in size.

Late last night got to checking what each would look like at 1:32 scale. The Saturn V would be 10.75 ft high [327.66cm] and the Mercury would be 2.15 ft [65.66cm] high.

All of these rockets are designed using 3-vu drawings, but, last night did some actual surfing to find correct diameters and lengths. My Saturn V is slightly big in diameter. The Mercury and Saturn 1B were drawn using the correct height, diameter dimensions.

A little re-work on the Saturn V will be done ASAP. Will be redrawing the Saturn V graphics to get them closer to scale too =text is wrong font-needs changed.

Thank you everyone for your interest in these rockets!

Mike
