I built some basic model rockets years ago and always enjoyed both the construction and the flights - however as a 60's kid I remember watching the Apollo missions and the excitement they created. My youngest daughter and I recently built a SaturnV for her school project from bottles and Pringles tubes and it reminded me.... that Estes make a 43" tall semi-scale Saturn V that will fly to 150 feet on a single motor.....

A quick google and the credit card was out.. it's being delivered tomorrow!!

Will try to post build pictures here as I go if anyone is interested?

Thankfully no - :-) Took some photos of the kit on arrival but didn't come out well.. been busy since but will try to get some better ones taken and posted tomorrrow. It's mostly just a collection of big bog rolls at the moment!

With Christmas in three weeks I am not expecting to get much done before the 25th but hopefully I can get a start made over the hols..
