Good news, first revisions have been posted. Mostly visual details to the parts themselves no structural revisions. Will get it built and post as I go. Time to get crackin'.

Okay, sorry about the delay, recently a strong gust of wind blew my Lego Saturn V off the shelf and I had to rebuild it. New fairing complete as well as the body of the rocket. Most of the details have been cut and now it's time to assemble everything.

Model is coming together nicely. Build is the same as previous. Thought I might do something a little special with the motors. :)

That is coming together beautifully! I really like the "real" metal finish exhausts! How were you able to accomplish it?
Oh sure, I tell you then you tell two friends then they tell two friends and next thing you know the world is covered in chrome. Just kidding I always try to use paper whenever possible for detailing I generally use silver or gold origami paper as you can glue it it will hold details if you mark it and it's really easy to work with. I use templates of what I am making with extended edges and then cut the foil and paste it on top of the original piece. Probably not the easiest way but I have had good results. I will try to get some pics for you to help explain

Here is the beginning of the Beta landed build. Apparently some details may not be finished on this as such there will be some differences between this and the final. Some new features added to the ends of the legs to help attach both the flight and landed version of this.
