Paper models, photos and musings of a Paper Kosmonaut

Blast from the past (no pun intended): the N-1 1/96 - 3 years later

Finally, I have finished the N-1. Three years after more or less abandoning the project I picked it up a couple of weeks back and sdtarted working on a bnew fairing. I first wanted to see the rocket finished as such, with just the fairing on. On the way there, I decided, I would sit and ponder over what to do with the still very beautifully made (yeah, I am still really proud of it) LOK moon train. Anyway, for now, here's the finished N1!


Some stats: 108 cm length and about 23 cm at its widest. The fairing is empty of course, filled with rings and glue and all that. The LOK stack is laying on a shelf, awaiting the solution to how to do the transparent fairing I STILL want to make. I think I have an idea, I'll keep you posted. I want to get this one next to the Saturn V in the National Space Museum in Lelystad, because I think what they have in their rocket showcase now is horribly undetailed and totally out of scale with the Saturn. This might provide some necessary nuance.
