I have learnt so much from this series. So glad I found the channel.
Welcome aboard!
Superb result Nigel, thank you so much for taking the time and effort to build this kit. Love all the improvements that you made.
Watching the LM foiling, you have me thinking of using gold leafing when I do mine.... Looks outstanding!
Watched and enjoyed them all, am so impressed with your skill and determination!
Thank you! Cheers!
A much better job than my 9 year old brother did! Well done sir.
A beautiful model you’ve made there Nigel, BUT you should scratch build the crawler and tower to finish it off! 😂😂😂
All the work you've put in really shows in the final result - it looks fantastic.
Thanks for a great build Nigel learnt a few thing on the ride! TFS, GB :)
Glad to hear it!
Great build!!!
Apollo 4 did have the American flags, but no operational Saturn V had the USA decal on stage 3.
The Revell decals and painting instructions most closely resemble the Facilities Test Vehicle mock-up… though that one didn’t have the American flags.
a beautiful build and masterclass in model making - Thank you.
Phew, mate, I watched this whole build series non-stop one episode after the other, I really enjoyed your approach on seams and the fact you took your time to explain the finer details during construction.
I've just bought a Revel 1/144 Saturn V 50th Anniversary kit and I'm going to use this series as a guide for my build. I'll try your interlocking tabs approach on joining the tube halves together as it makes sense to have a solid foundation when working on the seams during the sanding stages as sometimes I can get a little heavy handed applying too much pressure against the surface.
Fantastic build and a great video series.

I think you're selling the completed model short. Granted, it's not a highly detailed kit but it's what you make of it. You took a turd and polished it up quite nicely. That's easily a "3 foot" model. Besides, if nothing else, you may have sparked some interest in early space modeling. I know I'm interested now. And thanks for turning us on to the Vintage Space site. Now, on to the Lancs! (and maybe a certain U-Boat, hmm?)
Really enjoyed the build Nigel,looks great.Lots of tips and techniques shown on this,well done
You've done a great job on one of the most iconic and beautiful objects made by man.
Thank you so much 😀
I was about 13 during this era. I was a Trekky already. Star Trek fed my imagination. One episode dealt with an Apollo Rocket. The internet is so perfect for modelers. I did my rocket models in the 70's. I like modeling Sci Fi, WW2 & 60's aircraft. Hence, this is where my Alclad interest comes from. Many aircraft were natural skinned. The B-52 / X-15 kit still intrigues me. Too big to physically want. But, if one of you guys on line built one up on video, that is why the web is so awesome in scale modeling. I could live builds without increasing my stash or built kits. Private moments are a big part of my memories. Doing a video & speaking during a build is a horse of a different color. I appreciate the videos. Thanks.
Kinda cool you completed this in 11 parts....great job!
Another really educational series of video. Thanks.
Always satisfying to complete a model and this one is a great example of what can be accomplished with some forethought, and in your case Nigel, considerable modeling skill. Great work Nigel, I throughly enjoyed the build, and as always with your videos picked up some new tips on how to not just assemble a kit but create a great model. Looking forward to seeing the next step in your space shuttle. Thanks again mate. Also nice to get a look at a peek at your bench, mine I’m afraid is organized chaos.
Now for the 1/96 scale build! Good job on this one.
Learned a lot, thank you. Beautiful job. Nearing finish on mine and really happy with it. Sweet!
Saturn five rocket looking brilliant good model thanks Nigel 👍🏻
An enjoyable series well done good work Thanks nigel
Looks brilliant tbh . All that fuel and structure for that tiny compartment on the top with three men . Amazing
Hello Nigel . I've skipped in and out on this build as I'm purely a military model maker but I like the end result .
Great job on the masking and the foil and metallic paint worked out well .
Great video. I'm building Airfix's 1/144th Saturn V, which is a hell of a lot more accurate than Revell's (especially with New Ware detailing set), and your video is very useful for me. I haven't modelled for years, and I'm a relative novice at airbrushing, so every bit helps.
Glad I could help!
@@NigelsModellingBench I've just started building New Ware's Mercury Redstone...Good lord, that photo etched escape tower lattice requires a mix of skills between a micro brain surgeon and a hamster gynecologist.
Well done cracking job again learnt a lot thanks a lot
Looks great!
Very nicely done sir
Great! A real masterpiece!
I used Elmers glue about 20 years ago and it still sticks.
I just got one of these. My goal is to make one of those cool Saturn V lamps with the LEDs and smoke effects. This model should serve that purpose well. I have watched all of the parts in this series and, you have done a magnificent job on this!
Go for it!
great job. not enough people building apollo craft of any type on youtube
Turned out very nice imo m8 👍
Found a Clerget 9B radial assembly animation in HD, Six minutes of mechanics in shangri la.No oil or grease used in making of film.And hole punches £2.50 each from UK.They have a rebate to push disc out.The Trimming shop/london.Ebay.I got 0.5,Slightly thinner and sorter than a pencil.
Now to decide where you are going to put it.
Just finished watching of this build series and Nigel you've done great job with all those seams etc and rocket turn out beautifully.
But as I am looking at that rocket I'm wondering why Revell didn't put those seams on stages under locations of fuel/oxygen transfer pipes and didn't made those pipes or fairings as separated parts (as they did with those staging rockets) and put them over those seams.
I know.. crazy!!
Great job Nigel,Any idea what revell 1/48 lunar module is like? best wishes,Phil.
@Phil Evans. I would imagine it's pretty flashy and soft, take a look over on scalemates.
Nigel you have made a fantastic job of this, I have decided too redo my 1979 Airfix model Saturn V, so can you suggest the best way to remove matt paint ? thanks.
If it's an old enamel paint, use oven cleaner. Modern acrylics are best removed with a 50/50 mix of dettol and water but this can attack the plastic.
@@NigelsModellingBench Cheer's for thar Nigel it's 1977 paint give it a go, can only try
@@joburg76 if it's paint that old,, give the oven cleaner a try first. put the parts in a bag, spray in then oven cleaner, swill it around so all the parts have the cleaner on them and after 24-48 hours rinse in cold water. Make sure you protect your skin and eyes.
Hi Nigel, really enjoy your videos and huge thanks for passing on your amazing skills. I am about to start this build and I would wanted to ask a question. Would you now use the new black super glues on the seems rather than sprue glue? Thanks Matt
In a word.. yes!! The VMS black thin.
@@NigelsModellingBench cheers thanks for taking the time to reply. Appreciate it 👍
I've just re-read your question Matt.. I would use the VMS as a filler in small gaps, but as a back up for joint strength, Sprue Goo is the best bet. Think of it like welding two bits of steel together as opposed to gluing them together..
@@NigelsModellingBench thanks Nigel understood. I’ll get some of the VRS I’m ready. Cheers Matt 👍
Hello, Nigel! :) I'm trying to get this for my boyfriend for Christmas and I was just wondering if there's any difference between this one and the 50th anniversary edition. I have 0 expertise in the field, might I add, but I'd really like to do this and the website that delivers to my country is extremely vague when it comes to specifications. Thank you in advance! :)
Lavinia Ungureanu hi. If it says it’s 1/144 scale it’s the same kit. The 1/96 scale kit is much more expensive but it is much bigger.
Hi Nigel, did you do a video for the Revell Shuttle 1:144 kit?
I did Rob but took them down as it is such a dog of a model.. I mean it really is bad.
@@NigelsModellingBench ah dammit, I've just got one so this will definitely be a test then! Thanks anyway Nigel
@@robseaton5678 Ill make the videos live again just for you. i got it to paint and gave up due to the seam lines reappearing.. I then realised the Dragon kit was soooo much nicer!!
@@NigelsModellingBench that's brilliant, thanks so much!
You're right Nigel, it's an awful kit! The payload bay doors are horrible.
USA was not on the SIVB stage with Apollo 4, or any Saturn 5 for that matter..
Mine has...
@@NigelsModellingBench yeah, shame you made mention of your intention of making it look super accurate to Apollo4 and its important to note that you got that bit wrong.
