Ta daaaaah! The Saturn V is complete. And thanks to Lego creator Jason Allemann I have a nifty display stand. I downloaded his instructions from his website, and luckily I had all the pieces needed to complete it.
Well, that was a lot of fun. The amount of Lego engineering put into the model is amazing, imho. You wouldn't believe the amount of construction beneath the skin of the rocket. Thank you all very much for your comments, and for putting up with my tomfoolery.

Fantastic, Brian ( apart from the piece you've left out about half way up ). Well done!

Its looking quite amazing!
Back when I was a lad you built it with glue (you were not supposed to smell but...) and painted it yourself. I remember building a Saturn V, about as big as that one.

They'd decided on the the design of space rockets by the time you were twelve, then, Paul?

Oh ouch, I'm wounded !
Re: Thank You Mrs. FlyTexas
That looks like a great kit, Paul.

Brian, it was a great set of models as I recall. Each of the stages of the two Saturns could be separated, and you had two LEMs - one to go inside, and one with legs akimbo for landing. Thinking back, it must have been 1968 or 1969 ( so, just after the Wright Brothers, Mr.Airspeed ! ).
