A friend, Mark Calhoun, from the Johnsville Centrifuge and Science Museum in PA needs some help.
They are a sponsor of the upcoming Young innovators fair (Young Innovators Fair | K12 SuperSTEM Interactive Event) are are setting up a display with their Apollo suit replica, Mercury capsule replica and some other cool stuff. Part of the display involves comparing the actual size of various rocket engines with outlines on the floor so people can stand on them. They are interested in displaying some scale rocket engines from Mercury, Gemini, and Saturn on a desktop so people can also see what they really looked like size wise to one another.
We talked about paper models and they thought it was brilliant. They could provide some information about paper modeling and where to get them from also.
Does anyone have the time to build 2 each of just the motors (Atlas, Titan, and F-1) for a good cause? They don't need to be real detailed, just in the same scale and it doesn't matter what it is.
I have seen various F-1's and the Atlas and Gemini ones on rocket models. They might all be at Leslies but I haven't looked lately. It might take a bit of simple math to print them out in the same scale.
I'll check back here and Mark can be reached thru the email on their website. I know they would appreciate any help they could get and they will gladly credit the builder if wanted :)
