Hotdog Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 The New Ware detail set will get you most of what you need: http://mek.kosmo.cz/newware/nw133.htm The 3D printed parts were purchased before the New Ware detail set was available. You may decide that the New Ware parts are sufficient enough for your build. If not, you can go crazy like I did and purchase all the 3D printed parts below.

Ret Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Hi HD, I was wondering if you had any photos of the first stage - the work you did with the SIVB and the SLA/CSM were absolutely stunning. I've got the kit sitting here and I'm trying to figure out how to tacle the seems in the first stage. Your work is most inspiring! -Ret Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hotdog Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Thank you for the nice comments! That's the part I got stuck at. I was really dreading tackling those seams (they seem impossible to me, as seams are my kryptonite), so I bought a RealSpace Saturn IB kit on eBay. My plan was to attempt to build the first stage from that kit instead and see if I could get a better result. I then got distracted by other projects. I'm hoping to get back to this build later in the year. I think the RealSpace kit is available again if you want to give it a shot. http://www.realspacemodels.com/shop-galapagos/1144-saturn-1b Good luck and be sure to post pics of your build!
