Semroc Saturn 1B, Build, OOP #KS-1, Part 10, Balsa Fill & Detail Pieces



There's a rounded notch around the capsule. The center hole of the shroud rests against this notch.

It's not easy to sand this clean, I wrapped 400 grit around a Q-tip for some even soft pressure.









The ridge around the escape tower tail cone is sanded with 400 grit in a "soft" fold.




The C/M and S/M Umbilical Detail pieces are formed to match the profile drawings.

The C/M Half piece is shown as it comes off the laser cut balsa sheet. The horizontal lines help with the position of the sanded angles.



By the time you shape the C/M half to shape, (right side) those laser lines disappear.

The S/M Half is thinned a bit and the low side rounded.





Build time this post: 45 minutes
Total build time so far: 11 hours, 45 minutes
