Hey FSM,
This was originally going to be a display for my classroom. My plan was to have the Saturn V displayed with its stages separated. As I started the project, I learned that the Airfix kit would be a better kit to show in an "exploded view". So, I decided to build this up as a lamp for my office. The only "innards" I used from the kit was the top "dome" of Stage 1's fuel tank. Otherwise, the kit's totally hollow. To light it, I used some LEDs from Evan's Design and polyfiber for the smoke. It sits on a threaded rod and some "girders" shaped from wire screen.
Hope you like it!








Thanks for looking. Comments, questions and criticisms welcome.
Cheers,
