Introducing The Apollo Historical Series in 1/480th scale

George B · 04-07-2008, 08:45 AM

Hello Everyone,

I'd like to introduce The Apollo Historical Series! This is a collaborated effort between Mike B the original Mini Saturn V designer, and myself George B.

This exciting and one of a kind series will include over 20 models covering the history of the Apollo program. Re-live the ground breaking events at Pad 34, the rollout of the mighty Saturn V SA-500F the Facilities Integration Vehicle, the history making Apollo 11 flight which landed us on the moon, Skylab and the Apollo Soyuz Test Program. Each model has been meticulously designed in 1/480th scale with attention to mission accurate details, no two models are the same! Highly detailed but easy to build, they’ll make a great addition to your Spacecraft displays.

Stay tuned for more information on the releases of this never before seen series coming soon!

Kind regards,
George

Cheers JTF

You guys are amazing. If you keep this up, I'm going to have to upgrade my IP connection for more bandwidth. Looking forward to this one.

George,
I am just completing my mini-crawler and I'm going to start to build MLP, LUT and then Saturn.

... and

You arrive just in time to release your historical series, and I can't wait to build all of them ... or at least the Apollo-17, the last to the Moon.

Thanks George for your mastery and generosity.

Best, Nando

I will have to ask the Wife (Again) if I can have a bit more shelf room to display these on

NOOOOO!!! More paper, more ink, more shelving, a divorce attorney.

Thanks guys!

Nando,

You are part of the reason George and I are doing this. Your little crawler inspired us, to be sure.

I think you guys are going to be pleased with the models when we're finished. George and I have been digging deep to get them as right as they can be, and George's paint-jobs are just amazing.

Hang in there guys, they'll be out soon!

Mike
