Dr. Zooch Saturn V Build Step 12 Lugs and Extra Detailing

Instead of just cutting the lugs in half, try to match their lengths to the wrap widths they'll be glued on.

The lugs were filled and painted before cutting them to size.

Here a launch rod is used to pencil mark the lug locations.
Use the rod to check the alignment of the two lugs.

For some additional detailing, take a look at the Estes Saturn V.
The detail drawing in the Dr. Zooch kit shows the larger tunnel but not the smaller one.

While the larger tunnel is drawn, no mention is made of it when making the details. We'll make both from card stock.

The longer tunnel is made with a triple thickness of card stock.

Start by folding and gluing a strip about 1/8" wide.
Make the strip longer than needed when folded over and glued.

Set the glued strip on the model and pencil mark where it intersects the card stock wraps.

Inset picture: Glue the third piece in the center of the back where the tunnel steps down between the wraps. The picture shows the bottom side facing up.
This stepped side is glued, flipped over and glued on the tube.

The smaller piece is made the same way, doubled over but just two layers of card stock.

The upper picture shows the fit of the stepped layers over the card stock wraps.
