- I am old enough to remember watching history unfold on a black/white TV screen. Maybe that is the reason why I have always been fascinated by space. Since I picked up my old hobby of model kits a few months ago, I wanted to build this Saturn V rocket.
The kit has been around for a while. It has 82 parts and obviously many parts are rather big. On the box it says the kit is a level 4, which means it is not for beginners. Honestly, it is not a very complicated kit, but you will need a level 4 patience to fill and sand all the seams when putting it together. After assembly it stands tall at 77 cm/30 inches. It is one of the most satisfying models I have built and will look great in any room.
I used some of my older tracks as background music, while I am finishing other tracks.
Have a great rest of your Sunday !

Nice work! I'm building this now, and I'm happy to know the ugly seams weren't a problem just for me. I hope mine turns out as good as yours! 👍👍
Thanks Steve. Yep, despite the seams it was a great model to build and I hope you're having as much fun with it as I did. It's still one of my favorite models.
The fantastic atmosphere and rhythmic melody George !!
Thanks Christophe ! 🎹🎵👍
The Saturn 5, a beautiful and elegant ship. I built mine 25 years ago and indeed, there was a lot of warped components but not that much of flash as in this case. I can remember that painting that cone, is a challenging task even for an advanced modeler. Very nice work.
Thank you, Charlie. It was indeed a challenge at times, but so worth doing it. It looks amazing once finished. I hope you still have yours.
Very impressive. You are no doubt a much more experienced modeler than me.
Nevertheless I have a tip for you. When painting the black parts you can avoid “bleeding” by painting in white first. Then, when the white paint is almost dry paint the black on top of it. That way the “bleeding” will be white and the edge will appear totally sharp when you remove the masking tape.
And a minor criticism. The bottom part of the Saturn V do have an aluminum edge as you made it. But it should go a little higher and then lower part of the fins should be aluminum too...
Thank you, Kjeld. Someone else gave me the same tip about the bleeding. It really was a great kit to build and I might do another one and be true to the aluminum colors. Thanks again!
Amazing melody and video edition dearest George.
Happiness and Joy to you. Happy New Lunar year!
Happy New Lunar Year to you too, dear Lara !
I hope you are doing well :-)
Cool concept for a video! Great build, and beautiful music!
Thanks Marc. It was fun building this. It's not as creative as Blender, but fun it was :-)
intricate and detailed work. Nice that you have all the right tools and patience to do a excellent job, a work of art!! The speck of a person on the base shows how enormous this rocket is. Thank you for sharing your work and the process. I was gifted an RC kit, very beginner, haven't put it together yet, I did buy some tools, you have given me inspiration.🤗🚀👏
Thank you very much, Chris! I remember you got the RC kit and you planned on building it. That must have been almost 2 years ago? Time to get to work, Chris :-)
Beautiful build
Thanks Steve !
Well done with your model of the Saturn V rocket, and your level of detailing in getting the build just right
Thanks John. Still think it could have been a lot better.
@@GeorgeSundancermusic next you will have to build the spacex starship
Well, that second track sounds like music that would be played on a crime or detective show! I just thought that I'd start off with that. :-) Anyway, very cool visual editing of this project, dearest George! I'm studying all the different camera angles and segue ways in this production. As I told you before, I used to love to do stuff like this! Did you get this kit at the hobby shop in Newtown as well? Were any neighbors making weird noises and distracting you while you were working on this? Ha, ha! You have amazing concentration and attention to detail! Beautiful music and wonderful overall production! Big hugs to you! ~Michelle
Building a model kit sometimes feels like an investigation in a detective show :-)
I wanted to build this Saturn V for a while, but they didn't have this kit in the hobby shop, but a hobby shop on eBay was kind enough to have it in its inventory. Neighbors making noise? It's so quiet that sometimes I wonder if I actually have neighbors. Thanks for always leaving those kind comments. Hugs back !
Fantastic
Thank you so much 😀
i think i would not have the patience to build these revell vehicles, ...i always made a biiiig way around them when i saw it in the stores, haha ;-)!!!!! you made a great build up video george, looks very good :-) the music choice is perfect, so calming and relaxing, love it :-)!!!!! have a good monday george, i see you around!!!!!
Thank you my friend N !
You probably do have the patience to put models like these together, you just don't realize it, haha. When you compose your great tracks, you take all the time in the world too :-)
Yo lo tengo a esc 1/96, la primera edición ( 1969 ), está un 80 por ciento original éstas navidades cumplirá 55 años que mis padres me lo regalaron, es una excelente maqueta, un fuerte abrazo desde Maracaibo Venezuela!!!
One word comes to mind while watching this vid, George. And that word is... persnickety! Must you fill every little visible seam?! Good gravy! I guess being a perfectionist isn't a bad thing though. I would certainly want the builders of the real thing to be perfectionists if I were gonna fly in it! But does your tiny plastic crew really warrant such perfection?! 😁
It's a good thing you paired this vid with your relaxing musical perfection, G., 👍‼️ I woulda went nuts watching your persnickety perfectionism listening to just the sound of a ticking clock, 😵!
Haha, your comment sure made me smile. I am far from a perfectionist. I just knew that if I had to look at this model rocket and see big seams despite paint trying to cover it, it would drive me nuts in the end. Besides, it kept me off the streets for a while, lol.
nice👀👍👍👍
Thanks a bunch :-)
Great music George, and I hope you enjoyed building the model rocket 😀🤘🎵🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Adam. It sure was fun to put this one together :-)
Eh. I’m a wuss…..I just bought the Bandai model. Lazy bums pay the price.
Nice work.
Nothing wrong with the Bandai model. I was close to buying that myself 👍
awesome music and kit building sir
Thank you, Sean!
Good music choice
Thanks Ismail. The music is my own :-)
Thankfully ONLY 82 parts Revell has gone to junk! Maybe that’s the same mold since 1970! That almost eliminates the joy of building a model when you have to fix so many imperfections in the kit
I was happy the way it turned out, even with all the imperfections. I'm working on a kit from AMT now and those molds are horrendous.
I NEVER use Tamiya Putty, that shit is garbage. Vallejo plastic putty works much better.
I'll certainly give it a try. Thanks for the tip!
