No way!!!! You need to redecorate your living room and place both the Saturn V and N-1 in a premiere location...
Hi Jason,Originally posted by jjnodice
Hey Mike,
It's been a long time since you posted this, but I found a good place to put the N-1. [Snip]
I'm getting an itch to do a 1/144th scale Saturn V to stand next to the N-1.

Hi Jason,
I love the shelf on the wainscoting, and I noticed all the room for future builds.
Does Jonathan Leslie have a 1:144 scale Saturn V at his website? I know he has a 1:96 version. This model could be scaled down rather easily.
Museum-quality Saturn V, over 4' tall. 1/96 scale
Ive been lurking here not doing much rocketry, paper or otherwise. Life has gotten in the way of my hobby.
I did write an article for our rocket club newsletter: How-to build an 18-mm motor mount from scratch. Im threatening to start a modified Fat Boy for the Fourth of July, my Patriot Boy. And I'm figuring out how to load my new PICO altimeter in to my Sayonara Paper Tiger.
Great job on the N1 and the rocket display for your growing collection.
Regards,
Mike

Over the last couple weeks I have made some progress in building a cardstock N-1 Rocket from Currell Graphics. I am planning to build it to fly. I've converted a couple of cardstock models to flight and decided I was up for the challenge of this model.

Currell has several great free kits that can be converted to fly.

My Friede is a 355% upscale and flys well on a RMS F40 and G64s. Low and slow so you see the entire flight.

That's a great launch pic! Do the fins suffer much?

Nice looking upscale. You'll find fans of the Currell models around here!
Can you describe your upscale process? I only have a standard 8.5x11 printer so I am curious to hear how folks upscale.
I have heard of folks getting the pages printed on standard weight 11x17 paper and pasting it to cardstock. Then there are the lucky folks that can directly print 11x17 cardstock.

Now that you ask about Friede, I may do an article for EMRR......

Jason,
Anyway, the first part was easy.......
In our state office we had a 36" plotter that no one monitored too closely. I'm a environmental chemist not a graphic artist, but no one screamed about all the paper I used.

According to Mark Hamilton (the rocketeer not the Jedi), who did a 300% upscale of the Currell V2, print shops can print off B&W upscales on a plotter for a reasonable price. Color, on the other hand, is $15 a square foot I believe.
ouch......

Hi Jason,Originally posted by jjnodice, regarding Pem Tech's upscale Friede
Ah Yes...You are one of those types I curse in my sleep. Just kidding. I don't have any access to a printer/plotter like that, so I'm jealous.

Please do! Your work should get documented!

I used to have access to that color plotter. At the time, I wasnt a BAR, and didnt know of paper rockets.
Now I have a Canon color laser printer down the hall at work. It prints 32 pages per minute!

Lucky you!
My *#&$^%! HP prints maybe 32 pages a WEEK, between jams and misfeeds.

FYI, I called Kinko's in Durham, NC to ask about color laser printing on 11 X 17 card stock. They quoted me 89 cents a sheet. Don't know if other Kinko's would charge the same.

Jason,
Good to hear from you.
I'm having the same problem I had with links from the Buran group. When I hit the link it opens in Windows media, but sound only, no video.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
