Internet was out since the 13th, came back on today the 28th.

The 1/65 scale Saturn V is ready to fly. Weighs in with a D12-3 at 10.5 oz.

Other projects been working on and almost complete:
1/8 and 1/6 scale Mercury Redstone.

The 1/8 is complete except for final construction steps

Waiting on the right time to finish the 1/6 scale. It is over 14ft tall with the Escape system installed. The Mercury Spacecraft and Escape system are 52" tall. Photo below.

Designed, printed a pattern for an octagon parachute 47" diameter for the 1/6 scale, Biggest I can print with my printer.

Plastic for parachute is in the birthday party section table cloths at Walmart. Bought a 54"x84" Fancy metallic one for $4.79 while the cheaper lighter weight plastic ones sell for $1.29. Bought several with different party patterns.

The 47" diameter weighs in at a hefty 1.1oz for the canopy part.

GH will be Happy to know I've taken the cluster idea and mark all my bulkheads with up to 7.
Photo below-allows different configurations.
