Default New Saturn SA-5 Model Designer, (Is looking for detail help)

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!

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
