I wandered up to the print shop to put in an order. The 1/72 Saturn V, the Lunar Module layout, the Skylab cutaway and both versions of the 1/72 Saturn Ib. The 1/144 Saturns and the Convair Nuke Bomber received far too little interest (the 1/72 Saturn Ib’s technically came in under the bar I’d set, but whatever…). I also ordered one print of the brownline V-2 at two different sizes, to see how they come out. The prints should be ready Monday. Once I have them, made sure they meet code, and have the proper shipping supplies, I’ll make ’em, available to those who emailed interest; once *those* have sold, I’ll get another print run of at least the 1/72 Saturn V and LM diagram (the only ones that really seemed popular) and make ’em available.
BTW: The trip *to* the print shop was uneventful. The trip *back* was all kinds of exciting. As in “hey, neat, my brakes don’t work in those road conditions, but I shouldn’t feel too bad cuz neither do anyone elses including that car slithering through the intersection right at me.” Fortunately, the drive never got *really* exciting.
BTW2: This is what the finalized Skylab cutaway looks like. The callouts were added in, the “Skylab” title similar to “lesser” versions of this diagram was added, and what the hay, a little Saturn V/Skylab diagram was added to fill in some of the blank space.
And because absolutely nobody has asked for it, here’s what the Skylab diagram looked like after assembling the photos, but before the major cleanup and “blueprint conversion” operations.
