I have the Apogee capsule for flying. If it gets lost or broken, its a $20 “part”. I don’t want to have to build another wood and cardstock Apollo capsule!

I also love clusters, and I wanted to experience what I never did as a kid — building this huge kit as it would have been built, and flown, back in the late 60s.

I have an Apogee Saturn 1B kit that I’ll build later, and enjoy its more modern design. I am kind of on a nostalgia kick right now. I just finished a little Orange Bullet.

These past few months I have also built an upscaled Sky Hook, an upscaled Astron Cobra cluster (4x24mm), and working on a big upscaled Astron X-Ray a friend started over 20 years ago.
