F-1 Engine Stand is complete. Time to add more details to the engines
Rob, the engines and stand look stunning. I love the different shades of metal on those engines. Great work as usual. [Y]
F-1 Engines are complete. Thrust Structing coming along slowly.
Gorgeous.
Thrust Structure progress.
It looks cool… Nice paintwork.
Thrust Structure is Complete
Just checking on you and your project. Everything is looking excellent!

Great layout with the mission patches. My brother solved the space problem of such a long display by mounting the stages in a plexiglass display case with the display base on the back instead of the bottom, then hanging it on the wall. Are you planning the same thing?
it was an impressive sight seeing the Saturn V layed out like this at the Kennedy Space Center, and staring into the throats of those engines. You can believe it that, according to the guide, the radiated heat from the engines could light your clothes on fire from a quarter of a mile away.
1st Stage taking shape
First Stage is complete
This is very cool, Rob. I love it.
Congratulations, I am passionate about space and in the near future I intend to build the ISS. I also admire your work and I will follow it … as a suggestion: it could be interesting to add the size of the earth and the moon and their distance proportional to reality. And I could contribute to make the project more realistic … I will follow your project …
Hey Rob, This is a good effort and I’m looking forward to more posts. Mine was OOB but still is an impressive model to build. What a great part of world history! Carry on!

Thanks guys
Second Stage is in progress. This is the thrust structure and tanks in place, with all the fuel line plumbing ready to install.
Looks great!

Great idea. Really nice work so far - I will follow.
Added the insulation to the J-2 Engines. I also started the Heat Shield. Got it primed and will paint the top side Red Oxide Primer and the bottom White.
Added some wiring to the Thrust Structure. More to come.
Started the Third Stage Thrust Structure.
Finished the Heat Shield
Onto the Third Stage
