All 51 engine installed! My only regret is that all this work will not be visible when the model will be over, but there is a masochist background in every modeller. :rolleyes: Anyway, I can start with the 2nd stage. Best, Nando :)

Simply fantastic, I'm speechless,! Best, Nando :)

Thank you for your kind words. There are only 20 to install Best, Nando :)

First of all I mounted the twelve swirl engines Next I continued with the main engines and now I'm here The process of gluing in place the engines is complicated and it is difficult to maintain the hexagonal shape and the honeycomb pattern. Till now the result is quite satisfactory but...

Some step heed. The last one All engines ready ( for the first stage only :( ) Best, Nando :)

You are welcome Tonino. Good to see Zealot back again. Me too I missed you all. I joined the community ten years ago and it would be a big loss for our hobby. Thanks for the hard work. Best, Nando ☺

Seeing it from real is even more impressive, believe me ;) Best, Nando

I designed two small jigs and I hope these could help keeping in shape the engines. I did something similar some time ago when I shaped the ogival spinner, using washers of different diameter for keep the petals together. Now I'm folding, folding, folding ... But now I have to suspend...

:surprise::Bravo::bowdown:

It is not a race, and if it was a race we would not race with you: you're in a different category! :bowdown:

All the engines cut! Some statistics. Per each engine: 6 fold lines x 51 engines = 306 20 cuts x 51 engines = 1020 :sadno:

Thanks Zathros, but Werner had had models of his rockets at 1/1 scale ;) About the engines, someone suggested me that the Friede model of Ralph Currell has some solution for my model. Good hint because the missile was the same lineage, the true roots of the Von Braun’s rockets. I revised...

Wow Tonino! Wow

Thank you Christopher, THE DC and Zathros. Small progress. I have almost completed the first stage and I like the shining effect on the wings. Now I’m still dealing with the engines and I have to find a solution for an acceptable rendering for this part and that it is easy to...

Where, where... when ... I can't see anything ;)

I started to attach a colored version of the wings to the first stage. I tried to do some reflex effect, but, AARGGHH!, I did it wrong. In two ways: first, the reflexes of the two sections are misaligned, and second the wings are vertical as the natural light, so the reflexes would be on the...

Thank you all for the appreciations, they are important for me, and thanks for following my work.

Fantastic, simply fantastic! :Bravo:thumbsup

Back to the model first stage. First I assembled the inter-stage section Then I started with the body of the stage. I marked small bumps for have a reference where to put the positioning ring inside. I assembled the parts using the bulkheads, and the fit was good. The two...

Thank You all for your appreciations. @Tonino, I looked for some picture of containers and then I built them in scale using the standard dimensions. I think that they gave the sense of scale and a touch of color @THE DC, About the yellow station, I think you refer to the model kit of the...
