A beta build of AXM's new Falcon block 5
- Thread starter SonOfAGun2501
- Start date
For me, unless you get all those little details in it's not worth doing. I love to see how much detail and how small we can work especially with paper. Tedious of course but the end results are that much better.
I wonder if this is how Tonino feels everyday.You have entered the "Land of fiddly bits".
So, let's finish up these legs and get these motors in place. Finished up the pins for the legs and attached the mounts and the legs to stage 1. Finished up the motors luckily less than the Falcon Heavy.
Finished up the octacore (final design might be different). Attached the Melin's and the final details.
Haven't attached the fairing yet (another beta). Will get to that tomorrow. But here is the mostly finished Beta. I really like the look for this rocket. Much better than the plain white version. Looking forward to liftoff and some new pics to come soon. 
Lookng amazing, and this is a beta build?!??!?!

Re: Tonino, probably!! I have to say that you really work fast, and that combined with excellent building skills sets you apart, and part of a very small technically empowered group. The attention you pay to every members makes you personable, and an "Esteemed Member Extraordinaire".

Awesome job. This was a beta test and looking at the model I see what I have to fix or modify. In the coming days we’ll see more photos of this rocket on the pad and I will add more details to the model.

Thank you very much. Also, thank you for this opportunity. Really excited to see the final version.
Okay, let's finish this bird. The new fairing attachment has been secured and here is the beta fairing. Liking the new details on the beta fairing.
And there she is, the finished Beta. I will post the updated model when it becomes available. Thanks everyone for you support on this it's a lot of fun and I am sure the finished product will be even better.

This model really gives you an idea of what happened when that rocket took off, sent it's payload, and came back and landed. Outstanding!! You have our full support......:hide:
Okay, the first updates have come in. Here we go. After some Beta surgery the 2.0 fairing was removed. The appropriate 1.0 fairing and connector were replaced. Here is the updated 1.0 fairing and connector.
