Dr. Zooch Saturn V Build Step 8 Escape Tower Part 2




TIP: It's easier to cut out the center of a small shroud first, then cut the outside.
Leave as much stock on the outside of the shroud for something to hold onto.



After gluing the tab, the shroud was formed round over the end of a shaped dowel.

Set the shroud over the top of the dowel, then press down and turn until the shroud is round.







The small skirt shroud is slipped over the dowel and down onto the tower.

The Apollo Spacecraft end is finished.

  2. Thanks Eero,
    The best advice to working small is to slow down!
    I use long tweezers and dowels (with tapered ends) a lot.
