Apollo Saturn V 1:144

Looks all good to me Keith, a nice piece of history on a sweet base. What's next mate?

Next is the Space Shuttle, start tomorrow, to be followed by Concorde. After that a fighter jet, maybe Hurricane or Tornado. So much to build, so little time..... :P

That looks really good Keith .......... You need to be proud of that mate........ and the figures give a great sense of scale ........... Have a cigar, while the missus sorts out the toilet rolls.


Those things were monsters. When the first one "lit off" it shattered the glass in office windows 5 miles away ........... They have a full size replica at the Kennedy Space Station hanging horizontal in a building ..........

I would love to go to the Kennedy Space Centre and see that exhibit, must be something else, but unfortunately poor health makes that impossible. Still, I now have an amazing replica in my bedroom.

I wish I got 26mpg but I get a few miles a pint of water when on the bike...

You'd probably get more mpg if you put some alcohol in your tank, it gets those legs pumping.

Great stuff Keith, like it

That's an impressive start to your scale-model collection. It looks good to me and technique and skills will only improve the more you do so looking forward to some more great builds.


Cheers

ps. I like the figures they really give this truly awesome bit of machinery a sense of jaw dropping scale

Thanks for that. Yes, the size of the thing was certainly impressive. The new SLS rocket which will carry the Orion capsule is even bigger.

Very nice Keith, looks great.

Sorry somehow I missed the whole wip of this, it looks great to me well done on a great job.

Incidentally (you said about doing the concord ) sbe burned 16000liters of fuel each crossing, not good mpg figures either.

Nice one Keith, like this mate, good finish.

Nothing wrong with that Keith good job I dunno about you how'd you get on painting the black areas across the ribbed sections mine were a right pain I cheated in the end and used black tape and kneaded into the rib lines it looked ok though but my next one will be proper paint


Regards
