Thanks to all for the interest.
After that my design of the third stage was satisfactory about the shape, I tried to do a color test, to see how the texture could render and which solution would I apply to the entire stack. Here the first test in Inkscape … … and here the first test build On the stack The wings And the prototype at good stage of completion To be continue ….

Oh wow. Awesome. It looks really cool. indeed something to have on your desktop. It's an iconic and very appealing model. Great job, Nando.

I agree this is Awesome. I saw a picture of this rocket sitting on the launch pad and the paint scheme was done like the real Saturn V. It looks so good painted like that. I have look and look on the net trying to find that picture but have had no luck.
By any chance are you going to do this rocket in a couple different paint schemes? |

It's a video of the host from the Youtube channel "Vintage Space" collaborating with a friend trying to get a Von Braun style rocket into orbit using Kerbal Space Program. If you like the Mercury/Gemini/Apollo era, it's a very entertaining and informative channel.

Oh I love Amy. She's got a lot of good stuff about the early days of spaceflight.

PhantomCruiser, panzerlite, Paper Kosmonaut, thanks for your kind comments. I hope you’ll enjoy my model, if I could complete it!
The Mole, I know what you are talking about, but I choose to represent the rocket in the paint scheme they thought. The Saturn scheme is too “modern” Mechanic, PhantomCruiser, I know Amy and her channel and I follow her on Youtube from long time. I’m passionate for the early manned space flight (see my little Mercury, Vostock, LM and Gemini ) and I saw all her serie. I discovered this interesting simulator ( the Kerbal Space Program ) just here, looking for some video about the Ferry Rocket. At this point, with the prototyping phase almost completed, I can start to finalize the version of each part, experimenting the better way to render the patterns of colors. I decided to start from the bottom to the top, so I began from the MLP. I would like to reproduce the base as depicted in the Klep’s illustration, but giving some weathered aspect. The rest of the rocket never flew. The first attempts, looking for a way to do in Inkscape a weathered effect, are very ugly, so I discarded them. Then I choose an image of the top of the true MLP and I corrected and adapted it in Gimp. Then I “clipped” it in Inkscape. This time the result was acceptable. So I started to build the MLP. But the platform could have be bare without any detail that could give the sense of the “real” dimensions. So I thought to reproduce the tail-masts of the Saturn era, some worker who walks around, and a touch of color with two containers. A dry fit Now the base is complete! That’s all for now. I’m working on the first stage. Stay tuned. Best, Nando
