Jeff-

Nice build, but I know you probably don't want to hear this, but the first stage (SI-C) roll patterns should only go up to the *bottom* of the inter tank wrap (the next wrap up from the very bottom wrap).

There was one Saturn V (the 500-F facilities checkout mockup Saturn V from May, 1966 timeframe) that had the lower roll pattern somewhat like yours, but no flying Saturn V did.

I don't have a typical Saturn V image handy to show, but I'm sure an image could be googled fairly quickly.

I am amazed at your ability to not only build so quickly, but also to be able to photograph AND post updates on your builds as well. I just can't manage the time to hardly do a build much less all the other along with it. You must teach us all some 'project management' secrets!
