Science Fiction builds (and Warhammer) dont do much  for ME but still appreciate your skilful build.

@HOUSTON - Science fiction?

That's a pretty good rendition of Werner, considering it's wee scale

Yes,

And thinking that it is around 1942 something.

Maybe more true history than SF.

Thanks!

Looks interesting.

 

I was amused to discover that in the 1960 Biopic of Werner Von Braun "I Aim At The Stars", a character has the line "...but sometimes I hit London" (True Fact)  😀

I thought Sci-Fi stood for Science  Fiction.

 

Science fiction (sometimes called sci-fi or just SF) is a genre of speculative fiction that typically deals with imaginative and futuristic concepts such as advanced science and technology, space exploration, time travel, parallel universes, and   well I thought this as a SF build. 

 

MY apologies if it was REAL build.  

 

still appreciated the AWESOME  build though.

by the way....his name was Wernher von Braun not Werner

[Eric Mc]

Most definitely real space history and most definitely NOT science fiction. I'm surprised someone calling themselves Houston thought Wernher Von Braun might be a science fiction character!

 

It's a nice little set of figures and I might go ahead and buy me some 😀

Love Tom Lehrer, I recently bought his "songs and more songs" collection. Interestingly, he wrote a lot of his more "political" songs whilst working for the NSA.
