Is anybody buying this..????

I could make a living out of building these things I suppose...😁

Eeeeeek!!! 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀

Lovely but just a wee bit overpriced I think. 🤔

Think I’ll just stick to my Lego Saturn V 😁

or head to the DIY store and buy some white pipes, reducers and black paint... 😉

Or this 1/72 scale kit. A little bit more affordable. 🙂

I know of another example of silly looking white tubes - wide at one end, narrow at the other, about two meters tall that have very high price tag - it looks it's nothing uncommon

Hey guys...

Buy a printer 200x200mm bed, learn how to work with a 1.5mm nozzle and I'll send you the STL files. Printing time about 48 hours(SpiralVase modus)
I redrew this model myself, made 5 of these rockets. Don't remember how much I spend on filament. (see higher up) If I'm correct I've spent just under 100€ for one rocket. But most of it was spent on wood and paint for the consoles.
You also need a few threaded rods, nuts, washers, black paint, that's about it.
My SaturnV rockets are at scale 1:55, that's the largest you can get on a 200x200mm bed.

The last SaturnV I'll be printing will be at scale 1:33. With LUT, crawler and all it will be 4.1m high.

Overhaul all SaturnV rockets in our observatory.
A bit more detail in the upper parts of the rockets.

Meanwhile a second SaturnV is in the making, also scale 1:33
The little one is 320mm high.

In the picture(right) is also the very tip of Orion's escape rocket at scale 1:10
