Sheri's Saturn V.

[Woody's Workshop]

Ok Steven. I hope you find what your looking for at a good price!

Ok Steven. I hope you find what your looking for at a good price!

A 'good' price may not be realistic. I anticipate probably paying a premium for this. It is what it is. Thank you again Woody. Hang in there. One day at a time.

Over zealous sanding had removed much of the pin striping tape necessitating the reapplication of tape then on to applying gloss white.

That thing is amazing Steven! Beautiful work...

 

[Steven]

I really liked your B-47 slope soarer. That was just awesome. Thank you.

 

[AfterBurners]

Yeah Steven definitely awesome work! Hey are you still building at your Starbucks? I hope so because I know a lot of people have probably enjoyed your project.

No. There's hasn't been any indoor seating since March. The drive through is open and walk ins are acceptable. There's no eating, drinking or smoking in my cars so I just sit outside at one of the tables. Just came from the place an hour ago. Indeed I run into people and you know they're asking me about the rocket. Have quite a following. Bright, sunny but chilly morning is perfect top down weather. Thank you.

I've decided to can the first SM and purchased one from Shapeways instead:

I have used the shapeways stuff. It is much better than I could do, but I have found it to be expensive.

 

[Steven]

I've decided to chuck the original SM and bought a 3D printed one from Shapeways. I will install the EVA handles on this as well using 0.0156" Diameter, 3/4" Long metal rods.

https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/apollo-command-service-module-3d-model/462519 This site shows plenty of detail for the Saturn V.

 

[Steven]

Decals mostly for the SM with some for the CM.

 

[Steven]

I'm waiting for Shapeways to make and deliver SM EVA handles. Michael's handles are slightly oversized to lesson shipping damage. I'm thinking of removing the handles, keep the support stand offs and use Hardened Undersized High-Speed M2 Tool Steel Rod, 0.0156" Diameter, 3/4" Long.

Several of these will go on the SM like this:

Part of this has torn.

Repaired and ready for trimming.

Trimmed.

Now the areas between the upper radiator panels.

The umbilical connector in gold Bare Metal.

You definitely know your SV. I mean inside and out. Truly a fantastic build.

Thank you. I'm waiting for more of the matte aluminum to finish off the SM. The RCS nozzles will get painted aluminum, then the nozzles themselves will use gold Bare Metal. There are a ton of decals for the SM alone. They will wake up the SM.

You are going to need to enter this in a Model Contest when your done Steven!
The work you are putting into this is beyond what I have patients for!

Thanks Woody. I'm not interested in contests. I've got things in their place as it is and that's all I need.

This panel lacks detail. I'll use 0.010 styrene to replicate this.

 

[Steven]

Finished with the exception of the panel lacking detail. Then on to the decals.

 

[Steven]

These are the three whatever they are circles as seen from the previous photo cut out of 0.010 styrene. The rest of the details will continue to be added.
