New Vanguard model

Also some other goodies, including a NERVA engine and the start of the
WvB 1969 Mars ship model:

If you ever wondered where the basic layout of the Soviet N-1 came from,
take a gander at the R-12 IRBM:

Thanks for the link Pat! Do you know of any detailed drawings, (With
Dim.), of the Vostok Capsule. I am also looking for a detailed drawing
of the Saturn 1, (Mission SA-6), I have many photos and drawings of
both subjects, (But no drawings with dim. & pattern details). The kids
in the club have many projects to work on, (But keep harping me about
doing these two).

Help if you can,

Carl

There's lots of drawings of it out on the web, but not ones with
specific dimensions i could find
New Ware models makes a very detailed 1/48th scale model of the Vostok,
so you might want to get in touch with them, as they probably made
drawings that they based their model on: http://mek.kosmo.cz/newware/

The book "Rockets Of The World" by Peter Alway is primarily for model
rocket builders, and has detailed drawings of both the Vostok booster
and the Saturn 1 an 1B with dimensions:

This is out of print, but you may be able to get one through
interlibrary loan; here's the info on it:
Rockets Of The World, Second Edition, Peter Alway, Saturn Press, 1995,
ISBN 0-9627876-5-5
I've got the second edition, apparently there was a third edition also.
What the book really shines at is all the sounding rockets that are
covered in it. These are difficult to find info on, and as they lend
themselves well to model rocketry due to their fins, the book is an
excellent reference source for info on the various types.

....I second Pat's recommendation of Peter's book. While my own 1st
edition is long since gone - someone stole my copy from my cube at
D*ll and I never replaced it before it was too late - if you can find
a copy at a reasonable price, *get* it.

....The only sad part about Pat's bringing up Peter's book is Peter's
absence. No, he ain't dead - AFAIK - but his absence hereabouts in the
past few years is noticed. Met Peter at NARCON '02, and he's a great
guy to talk to, once he got over the shock of "You're *OM*???".

Guess he expected me to be 8' tall with three heads and a flaming
broadsword...

Thanks Guys! I went to the nasa archive and was able to find some
detail pdf's. I have the dime. I need for the SA-6 and the exterior
detail. I will try Pat's idea, for info on the Vostok. You know guys,
It is great to have this group for real, constructive help, (LOL).
After all this is a History Group!

As opposed to 8' wide with three flaming heads...which can be cured with a
shot of penicillin... :P
