I got bored of my overdone slightly poo old saturn v, so one day, now 6 days ago i decided to make a new one. This time 1:1. Oh i didnt know what a project it would be. Fast forward 6 days, and it it finally done after a load of painstaking work, and many ragequits and motivation losses. It got to the moon in the 2nd ever test flight, pretty good i’d say.

This is the Saturn V, this is from 4 days ago. That was the ”fun part” of making it. You can see every stage and engine in that pic.

And this, this is from today. Making the spacecraft was a HUGE pain in the ass, when i say huge i mean HUMONGOUS. I had to keep the tower and pad simple to avoid setting my phone on fire.

now for the part youve been waiting for, the spacecraft:

im going to admit, the CSM isnt the best. But its the best i could do without losing my shit. The biggest challenge in the ENTIRETY of this whole thing was the LM, it took 99% of the time i used on the spacecraft, getting the legs to extend and look right, and the ascent stage and its details, i didnt want to make it, yet i did. It turned out well, oh fuck, my friend is gonna shoot me with a waterpistol if i dont stop now. Bye
