    1/48th Scale Saturn V

    I decided to chuck the original nozzles as they were generic and substituted batted F1 nozzles I got from Ebay. Used Testors Metallic Aluminum then powdered graphite to bring out details. These are display only and will be removed for flight.

    1/48th Scale Saturn V

    Thank you everyone. Since the virus, I haven't been able to do any build time there since February 26th, so I've done a bit at home. I've been working on mostly the upper section as it's simply smaller and more manageable. Here it is in it's primed state: Next will be the application of gloss...

    1/48th Scale Saturn V

    This gentleman is a highschool teacher just a block away from the shop. I got him interested in building model rockets for after school student activity. I had given him a brand new Apogee Saturn 1b to build with his students. He had already built and flew an Estes Saturn V with his students and...

    1/48th Scale Saturn V

    I might as well take the opportunity to explain something of myself. I am bipolar II, almost took my life prior to diagnosis. This disorder will leave you feeling like a shell of a human being. No emotions, no joy, no happiness, no sadness, no anger, nothing. We need our emotions good and bad to...

    1/48th Scale Saturn V

    One magnet sits here while the top part will receive it's magnet. The idea I hope will be this creates the weak link to separate at this joint before the lattice work on the tower breaks. This is a hit or miss proposition as I have no idea whether the magnets will be strong enough to keep things...

    1/48th Scale Saturn V

    For those of you familiar with model rockets back in the day, a company called Centuri and of course Estes had their own 1/100th scale versions that flew. The LES tower was typically prone to breaking sooner or later. Same thing with the Mercury Redstone with it's tower. I've decided to address...

    David Weeks' drawing have become absolutely invaluable allowing me to create the level of detail I never could have done without them. Good job David!!

    These were the RCS nozzles before sanding down for proper fit and insertion around the base of the CM.

    1/48th Scale Saturn V

    The RCS control nozzle cutouts have been drilled out and hollow tubing used to create the actual nozzles.

    The second window is drilled and the first received it's frame from hollow styrene tubing.

    1/48th Scale Saturn V

    The CM I bought from Shapeways as the original solid resin piece's shoulder was too large and I don't have the equipment to turn the shoulder down to fit inside the SM tube. The LES tower is also from Shapeways. Here I've begun drilling out two windows and will insert frames and clear acetate.

    One of the five liquid hydrogen fairings with a piece of sheet styrene glued to the bottom side to remove the gap.

    1/48th Scale Saturn V

    Again the original resin piece on the left, the actual drawn size and my balsa piece. The difference is considerable here.

    1/48th Scale Saturn V

    In this picture we have the original piece on the left, the actual drawing size and the balsa piece I made to scale size. The difference is obvious.

    The third stage with most of the detail.

    Brass etched pieces, resin upper radiator panels and 3D printed lower radiator panels on the SM
