Please follow this link:
http://www.cardmodels.net/ Join the group, and do a search for SA-5. The model designer has done a amazing job with the detail on this model. He is looking for input to finish it and dev. the whole early saturn series. I think with the input from some of you guys, (We could help give the world what the resin guys never did). If you have a few moments, give this guy a hand, Carl |

You want to see a big resin model, try one of these on for size: http://www.realspacemodels.com/html/n1pg.htm The thing has internal air chambers made out of disposable drinking cups in it to cut down on the amount of resin needed. Absolute knockout when finished (and surprisingly easy to build), but pure hell to mask the third stage for painting in its two-tone scheme due to all the protuberances. The photoetched parts are done in heavy gauge brass, and it's very structurally sound when finished. Mine came with a transparent lucite block base, and attached to that weighs around four pounds!

Pat Very Impressive model! I would love to have resin models, (but I build card stock with the club kids, (due to lack of funding)). It does not hurt to window shop and wish. Thanks for the link, Carl |
