1/96 Saturn V โ Revell
Hi, finally finished kit from Revell in 1/96 scale. I tried my best. It is not perfect and there are small differences with original rocket but Iam ok with it. Now it will be nice piece of decoration ๐
Smoke is pet bottle wrapped around with led stipe, some leds I paint transparent yellow and red paint , literally only separate leds, randomly but on top i let it be white, in middle orange, bottom red and then cotton wool glue on it. Cotton then is painted just a little bit with grey shades from middle to bottom. It is no magic ๐ simple and easy.
Anyway the kit is from previous century so quality is ... just Revell ๐
I hope you will like it ๐

Very impressive build, Radek.
Really love the way you present that exhaust effect.
You described it as being simple, but I think it is much more than that.
Wonderful decoration.

What John said... That is a very cool piece of decor, and I can think of more than a few people who would love to have such a piece on display.

That exhaust is really impressive.

Cool idea!
Only improvement I can come up with is some dry ice at the bottom shelf to have smoke come pouring out of the cabinet ๐

I think i'm going to do a 1/144 version and make it into a nightlight display using your technique.. Really inspiring.

Very clever. I remember building this model when I was a kid in the previous century.

I have a 1/144 version in my stash.

That is one heck-of-a mood lamp!
Colin Latta said on May 13, 2021
That is absolutely brilliant! The most effective way I have ever seen for displaying this rocket. I can almost hear the roar and crackle of the exhaust!
