Thanks, Pete! The first I did was filling the gaps in the tower structure, adding missing parts and repairing the broken ones. After that the tower was painted gray and red: Next the Launch Pad was cleaned up and primed: The area around the recess in the platform where the rocket stands is surrounded by a yellow area before launch. I made this with a thin sheet: It was painted yellow and glued to the platform: First impression: More to follow! Ralf

Hello Space - Friends! My model for the 50th Aniversary GB will be the old (toy-)kit of the "Saturn V with LUT" by Contdown INC. I bought it via ebay and found it much like a simple toy: It wasn't build very well... ...l and even broken in some areas: So I decided to completly rebuild it. Some parts will stay as they are, most parts will be reworked or rebuildt. Regards from Germany Ralf

I‘d like to participate. Happy new year everybody! Ralf

Making someone smile is more than I expected! I'm on your side - modelling this way is the most fun. It changes the way you look at ordinary things! I have always in my mind: "Maybe I can use it for my project?" And the output is always unique! Ralf

Hi Friends, I once bought a bunch of old models to use them for spare parts and - forgot them mostly. Last summer I found a case with these parts: In a moment of euphoria I decided to build an Apollo 13 full stack out of this by scratching all the missing parts: no aftermarket, no parts of other (Revell Apollo) Kits. This is my result: Ok - the decals are those of spacemodelsystems, but I had them in stash and didn't buy them for this project. Sorry for the poor pictures, there was no sunshine for weeks here... If you are interested in the story of building it, look HERE (modellboard.net, website in german!). Hope you like it! Ralf
