Saturn 1B Build 1:144

[firestarter83]

Hello everyone, I started on the first of hopefully a couple projects to complete over the next week while I have some time off work.

I am starting with the Saturn 1B by Ton Noteboom, using the enhanced parts by both legal and mysteroid.

The model is rescaled from 1:96 to match my Falcon 9 and Atlas V at 1:144 scale.

Made some good progress today on the first stage, I will share more as I work through it.

[firestarter83]

Thank you all for the nice feedback!

I made some good progress over the past couple of days.
Overall I am really enjoying how well the model is coming together.

Mysteroid; big thank you for your recent work on the upgraded parts, they really make the model shine!

 

[zathros]

In the 70's my dad had a couple of plastic rocket modelss, The Apollo, soyuz, gemini and several others,
When I was litle I tried to fly with them and they all crashed. They end up in an carton box.When I was 18 years old I rebuild them.
Then the cat's took them down and they and up in the bin. I think I will rebuild some in paper.

I was able to wrap up the rest of the 1B the other day, had some memory card issues so some of my build progress photos were lost, but here is what I could recover and the full finished model.

Overall I am very happy with how it all turned out!

 

[mijob]

[micahrogers]

[zathros]

I'd be hppy with the way that turned out too. As an observer, I'm like "Damn!!", that's great!!

Just for fun, here is the Saturn 1B compared to Falcon 9 and Atlas V.
