Thanks for posting the link. I wish more people would do that.
I look forward to seeing this.

Okay, sorry about the delay, recently a strong gust of wind blew my Lego Saturn V off the shelf and I had to rebuild it. New fairing complete as well as the body of the rocket. Most of the details have been cut and now it's time to assemble everything.
Oddly enough all the pieces were located and successfully reassembled. The physics of a Lego bounce is one of those great mysteries that still has science baffled.
Model is complete looking pretty good if I do say so myself. Will get some photos up as soon as it becomes possible. All the new details and markings look really good. AXM has done it again.
Will get the pics up as soon as I can. Been checking everyday.Sounds promising, chomping at the bit here!

Thanks for the update.Just got a P.M., they are still working on the problem.
Upload issue finally solved! Here are the photos like promised.
That is coming together beautifully! I really like the "real" metal finish exhausts! How were you able to accomplish it?

Oh sure, I tell you then you tell two friends then they tell two friends and next thing you know the world is covered in chrome. Just kidding I always try to use paper whenever possible for detailing I generally use silver or gold origami paper as you can glue it it will hold details if you mark it and it's really easy to work with. I use templates of what I am making with extended edges and then cut the foil and paste it on top of the original piece. Probably not the easiest way but I have had good results. I will try to get some pics for you to help explain
Here is the beginning of the Beta landed build. Apparently some details may not be finished on this as such there will be some differences between this and the final. Some new features added to the ends of the legs to help attach both the flight and landed version of this.
Here are some of the really nice updated details.
