Yesterday I got the Saturn V original re-scanned at higher resolution. The resulting file is noticably too big for my system to handle (Windows will only let you work with images 32,767 pixels or smaller, and this was bigger). I was only able to open it enough to crop out small sections, which I could then tinker with. The original scan would look ok printed out “full size” (3 feet by more than 21), but a little bit of processing would make it look a lot better. So I’m passing it on to someone with a better graphics system.
I printed out at full scale a number of my experiments with making it better, on my 8.5X11 photo printer. The result is an F-1 engine that pretty much fills the page. Here’s a photo with an industry standard feline scale reference:
How can you say “no, I won’t pay $200 for a 21-foot-long Saturn V blueprint” to a face like that?
