Actually, I could see myself wrapping my long winter wool coat around its shoulders if I had one!

Warning: Lots of images........

Been wanting a big Saturn V model for a long time, started on a 1:144 a few years ago but that stalled while trying to make it more accurate.  Been really tempted by the Bandai Apollo 13 set, but it's crazy expensive and I wanted something bigger, I may still get that Bandai one someday, it is a really beautiful model.  So it came down to the Dragon 1:72 vs. the 4D Vision 1:100.  I wanted the size of the Dragon but kind of put off by the non-accurate parts.  So I got the 4D vision and put it together this evening:

It's supposed to be a snap fit model but many pieces were way too lose and had to be glued.  The gantry for the LES (the little rocket on top to take the astronauts away if the thing started to explode on the launch pad) had some bends in it, soaked in boiling water and straightened them out.



Overspray not too bad on the command module, I had seen some complains about this part online:


They include 3 astronauts:




The LEM was a pain to put together, had to do some drilling and cutting to get everything to fit together properly.  Not sure about the paint job, think I might redo some of it:


Had to repaint the ring near my thumb, overspray was terrible on that part:


The instrument ring is a nice added detail:




The stuff inside the tanks is also a nice addition, here's the stage 2 oxygen tank:


The first stage was a pain to put together with the fuel lines going through the tank walls:




The instructions are not the best, all diagrams, no text, if I didn't already know a lot about the Saturn V I might have been lost at a few spots while putting the 180+ parts together.  Other than the one ring I had to repaint the paint job is pretty good, there are a few other slight overspray areas I might touch up someday.

But it's a fairly accurate model, about 44 inches tall, so I'm pretty happy with it.

That is REALLY awesome, MartyS!  Nice job with the assembly, as well as the choice of craft to tackle after your Enterprise (plus).  That is a cool model, and at over 3 1/2' feet tall, makes a definite statement in a room, I'll bet.

[RVR II]

Yeah that's really amazing!

Here's where I've got it for now:

Those are really cool looking in the room!

I decided to paint the black markings over the clear, and added some white as well, still plenty of window space to see what's inside:

[LucasM]

Looks beautiful.  And now in your recliner, you are flanked by the past and future of space travel!

One last picture, with the painting I did it looks pretty cool when back lit by the window.
