Wow, this really does take me back to being a kid, as mentioned before on this thread. For some strange reason the mose cone hits home, I think it got broken when being a kid I also played with it when made, I must have made this when I was about 10 i think, that would be 1975 in nice sunny North Carolina. But i diverse, it's all looking good, well done.

This is how it’s looking at the moment. I’m now awaiting for some lead wire for the wiring.

Because I’m building this for the school I work for, I’m going to display it on its side, so the year 6 children can see all the sections.
But it’s a great idea to do it on the launch pad or crawler maybe another day.

I'm sure the kids will appreciate your efforts Ian, we are certainly enjoying them here. Rick H.

Well this is my interpretation of the 3rd stage rocket completed and fitted.
