Greetings everyone!
I built models as a kid but eventually moved on to working on cars as a teenager. I recently retired and still have many years remaining to restore classic cars and trucks. But after 50 years of being away from model building, I am planning the next phase of life to start building again.
My first project will be revisiting a build of Revell’s 1/96 Saturn V. I built the first issue back in the early 70’s and I think it turned out pretty good. I had several builds of cars, trucks, aircraft, flying model rockets, etc., under my belt before this project.
I cannot remember what happened to it. I believe when I went into the Air Force I left a lot of my stuff in the basement and when my parents sold the house it all must have disappeared at that time. GGGRRR!
I also have a 1/12 Monogram 1969 Camaro 3-1 kit I have had since the mid 80’s. I briefly worked on that, super detailing it to match my real Camaro.
The Saturn has a lot of issues to correct to make it a more accurate representation of the actual operational vehicle. You will be hearing from me quite often as I figure out how far I want to take it.
