He makes a fine line of Ant Scale Saturn Model Rockets !

"fine" is not the right word. Much of the detailing would probably be considered "crude" by serious modellers. But that's not his target market. He's not targetting the NAR member looking to compete in Scale. For that, get Peter Alway's Saturn-V kit. But if you want a Saturn (several to choose from) that looks like a Saturn from 15' away, he's got some nice kits.

It's more along the lines of the old Estes 1:242 semi scale Saturn-V.

I think "fine" describes the allure of his line. Instead of the run-of-the-mill, everyone-does-them models of the *manned* Saturn 1B's... he makes the oh-so-more intriguing unmanned versions.

Consider them the raw materials from which to accentuate and enhance to the level and detail you desire. Even with the finest quality scale kits; the modeler *still* enhances what is there.

Well, to be honest Bob, the amount of detailing you can give a Zooch Saturn is only limited by your own modeling skills and imagination.

You can build one in a day and fly it , or take a month or more to build it, the choice is yours.

I would say you caught the essence of my word "fine" greg ;-)
