Saturn V

Saturn V

(and quite possibly a region of Cape Canaveral)

^^ 10/10 for missing winglets ^^

(a crappy image yielded by 10 minutes in a free image editor)

I got bored one day early in January and decided to construct a model of Saturn V relative in size. It took 3 days to complete. I only recently brought back the save file, and I plan on expanding this into a large launch pad and complex. The site is planned to be Kennedy Space Center launch pad 39B, and most likely feature a large amount of surrounding terrain and shoreline.

Any input would greatly be appreciated, preferably regarding inaccuracies and constructive criticism.

This build is a work in progress, so expect changes to be made. I may log some progress below.

Updates

V2 Prototype

I've rebuilt the rocket up from the stage 3 adapter. This version of the rocket is again, default, and I plan to release it soon, once I complete winglets and other miscellaneous things. If this version fares well, I will continue to make a server-only version including bricks of my choice, which will most likely not be uploaded.

damn it, still no winglets. (they're next)

Changes

- Significantly increased length of the stage 3 lunar module adapter

- Few structural and aesthetic changes to the service module and command module

- Visible aesthetic changes below the lunar module adapter and stage 2 adapter

Note: This is a prototype so changes can and will be made.

I would advise making the second stage a bit longer, at least based on the sole image of it. It looks way too short and stubby. Plus, the transition from the first to the second was also much more gradual.

The first stage looks decent, although the rest appears somewhat bland.  Based on the brixelation of the "USA", I don't think you quite have the scale correct.  Perhaps if you scaled it larger, you could also get the transitions done more accurately, as HellHound suggested.

The nozzles look great though, and it would be loving awesome to see a Blockland Cape Canaveral!

The first stage looks sorta blandish, and i dunno if its round or square btw. The second stage is OK needs to be a bit bigger though. And if you make a actual Kennedy Space Center i will love you for life. (Im Floridian)

Thank you, and I am well aware of the "bland" second stage. This version of the rocket was made with all default bricks and do keep in mind that this is a work in progress. I may eventually recreate the rocket more realistically and with non-default bricks.

I would appreciate it! how may I contact you?
Your version looks great.

I'm aware of this, though it will take an incredible amount of work to correct and I simply do not have the time. However, I did recently add more curvature to stage 3 and the service module.

Looking pretty good. Will you make the interior of the Command Module or nah?

I may eventually, though it's not planned. It won't be with default bricks because there isn't a good selection of bricks for something that small.
