Semroc Saturn 1B, Build, OOP #KS-1, Part 5, Making The Tower






You'll have to make two more sets of the horizontal center struts.

TIP: To keep the side ends even, I pinned two vertical flat toothpicks down first. The center horizontal struts are not glued to the side flat toothpicks, you only glue use the center "Z" and two diagonals beneath it.



Again, using long tweezers will really help to build the tower.
I got my set of tweezers cheap from Harbor Freight.
In this picture you can better see the flat toothpicks.






Here's the center struts.
Notice the small fillet of glue in the crux of the "Z". There's really not much glue there, I can actually bend the pieces like a hinge to correct the alignment if needed later on.



Build time this post: 1 Hour, 15 minutes
Total build time so far: 4 hours, 30 minutes
