How about a new little thread from PK while he's building the N1 again? Now in 1/96th scale, some years ago laser printed at the local copy shop, when I didn't yet have an A3 printer. I was a bit worried on how the glue would work on the smooth surface layers of the laser print but roughening it up a little with sand paper, or small cross hatching knife strokes to open the layer up help a lot.
I'll spare you all the details of how tedious the repetitive actions are on this model, 30 engines, 12 fuel fairings and the callous interstage truss work were not amongst my favourite paper model moments of last month. Still, seeing Blok A finished is a joy. And a relief. (-:
I did some extra detailing like hinges on access panels, small stringers and I replaced the cable runs from the kit (which became a little too wobbly) with solid ones, made from layered grey heavy card stock.
I already have moved on to Blok B, the second stage, and that will be shown in more detail later on. I already took a picture of both of them stacked and man, this one is going to be monstrously huge. The Saturn V might be longer but the N1 surpasses it easily in impressiveness with its appearance, its hugeness accentuated by the gigantic base cross section and the dark colour. More soon, I hope.
