1/48th Scale Saturn V

[urumomo]

I've removed some of the panels as I'm not impressed with my work. I've ordered more to replace the ruined parts.

 

[Steven]

You just made me hungry.

 

[Steven]

One large panel removed.

 

[Steven]

The other. I will do better.

 

[Steven]

The umbilical connector in gold Bare Metal.

 

[Steven]

This is the decal placement guide.

 

[Wolf Star]

Yeah I was surprised at how many markings there are on the vehicle when I used that kit for the Skylab I built.

 

[Steven]

This panel lacks detail. I'll use 0.010 styrene to replicate this.

 

[Steven]

Done with the exception of the panel requiring additional detail. Then on to decaling. I don't mind working with waterslide decals.

 

[Steven]

Details glued on.

 

[blakeh1]

Amazing stuff!

 

[Steven]

This is my happy side for the day. Along with my wash and wear, drive and wear and sleep and wear hair.

 

[Steven]

Well, I was not happy with my use of the Bare Metal product. It's a great tool yet requires a large learning curve for me. The larger the surfaces are, the more difficult it's been for me. I'll still try it on the fins and fin shrouds as I haven't given up totally. So the SM will be painted instead.

 

[Steven]

Tape removed.

 

[Steven]

All the tiny bits painted for the SM. I will attempt to use gold Bare Metal on the RCS nozzles themselves. I will also add navigation lights. Even the RCS modules will have decals on the forward face.

 

[Steven]

First two decals of over 60 have been applied.

 

[Steven]

Moving along.

 

[Steven]

EVA handles attached.

 

[KINGSLUG]

WOW..I would be terrified to launch it. Lot of work

 

[Steven]

Flying models are a disposable commodity and I treat them as such. From my rockets to my RC planes. It's the passion that keeps the interest itself moving forward regardless of loss.
