Von Braun Retriever Rocket
(1/1)
Mr. Bill:
Greetings!
Designed by Dr. Werner von Braun in the 1950's, this model is built from the 1/72 scale Glencoe reissue of the original Strombecker kit from 1957. Display enhancements include LED lighting and a separate Bottle Suit with custom external manipulator arms and display base. Thanks for having a look, questions and comments are always welcome.
Cheers,
Bill
Rokket:
Nice work, and nice concept. Have you seen the Disney miniseries with Von Braun? (from back in the 1950s)
Mr. Bill:
Thanks Rokket!
This was an easy and fun build. The LED setup in the display base was very simple and not expensive. The Disney series is a classic! Very well done for that time and still presents well after 60 years!

Rokket:
Good to hear about the LED setup. I remember kits back in the 1980s' required you to become an electronics expert and build that all separately from Radio Shack parts.
