NJ, it looks gorgeous! The old alternating black and white tanks is what I remember. I didn't know that there were so many Saturn 1B variations. The picture with the remote controller is amazing. Your tweezers must be getting a workout.
and for Max Q and for Grandcross, who both have beautiful builds of Saturn 1bs going on over in the scratch build section which might be just a tad bit bigger than mine, I have included a scale shot using the bedroom door for scale as they have done. I am attaching links to their builds which are truly awesome!

Love it!
Wow Rick. Very nice craftsmanship my friend! Love the door shot. Really gives perspective!
Rick, fantastic detail and finishing on those models! The Saturn 1B was a good space program. It is too bad it came to end. The models look too good to fly. Do you fly these, and if so, what engine do you use?
thanks Kevin! the door shot was to be compared with what Max Q posted...I don't know how to post his picture of his 1b....but what he is making is just a massive awesome build!
Ok - I'll give you a hand here.............

A big project can allow one to cheat on some things...the overall size makes the impression.
A small scale invites a lot of close examination.
Doing detail work in such a small scale as with yours takes real talent.
