GrahamS Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Absolutely fab. Just need a bit of dry ice on there to make it smoke! Trouble is, the Derek Meddings in me wants to see it blown up (but don’t!). Graham 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter2 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 This is a tour de force. I have been watching your progress since last year and the results speak volumes. I watched "The Six Million Dollar Man" a while ago where Steve Austin climbs up an actual NASA installation which housed a multistage rocket - and this model has that authentic feeling of watching the real thing. Some day this model deserves a place in a space museum or similar. Certainly this could be toured around local schools so that a fresh generation of youngsters could see authentic U.S. rocket history, in miniature. 🚀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter in law worked with NASA at JPL in Pasadena, California. Perhaps she can eventually convince them to take this for display, Regards, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
