Tip: You may notice my template ended up with very jaggy lines. I'm not worried about it for a sketching template, but if the jaggies bother you, you can get a much smoother line by converting the selection to a path and stroking the path instead of the selection.
Preview your work so far Go back to the Layers dialog and make that white layer visible again, so you can see the outline you just made. Outline the rings on their own layer Repeat what you just did for the planet, this time for the rings. I recommend using a new layer for just the rings you'll see why in the next step.
I outlined just the outside of the rings, so the sketch can show the ring thickness. ALPO's templates don't do this, but how much ring you can see can vary based on seeing conditions. If you want the inner edge of the ring on your template, add it now.
Erase the hidden parts of the ring and planet outlines You can't see the rings where they go behind the planet, or the part of the planet hidden by the rings. And you don't want your template lines spoiling your sketch in those regions. So use GIMP's eraser tool and a large brush to erase the appropriate parts. This is a little easier if you used separate layers for the rings and planet: you won't have to be as careful with the eraser. But it's not a big deal: this is a template, not a finished artwork, and you're going to be drawing over it anyway.
So don't sweat it too much. Optionally, make the lines fainter I made the template lines fainter using the Opacity slider in the Layers dialog on the planet and ring layers. Of course, you can just draw in grey in the first place, but I like being able to decide afterward what color I want, or change it later.

Skip to content. Template Public. Star This little guy is a bit tricky. Cut out the piece, then score the back and make the long folds. After that, unfold the piece and cut out the internal segments like in the picture. After that, assemble as shown and you can even glue it to the top of the Command Module as shown. The engine exhaust nozzles are made of two truncated cones, constructed from silver cardstock. After that, create the pipe that leads down to the nozzle as shown, and assemble the pipe and the nozzle.
The next pipe gets assembled in a similar fashion, but is smaller and has a cut-out. Assemble as shown. Cut out the engine covers, then cut a slit in them for the guide fins to go through as shown. Then, construct the guide fins as shown and slide them through the slot you cut in the engine covers. Glue them in place, then finish constructing the engine covers by gluing them closed and add the little white letters and silvery bottom edge as shown. The service module has core formers and saw-toothed tabs that go with it.
Glue them in, then attach the Service Module to the white truncated cone that goes below it. So the rocket has another layer of paper that goes on the outside of it in places. In the pattern, the pieces are laid out so that you can see where they are supposed to go. But, make sure you refer to the pictures. This part can be a little tricky because the parts are not necessarily symmetrical and they have to go in the right places.
Here you see the fuel lines being constructed. Score the pieces, then fold them and glue them. Before gluing them onto the rocket, glue on the little rectangles on that bridge the gap where the fuel line goes. The base plate is made up of the two pieces in the top part of the picture above.
Glue one on top of the other, and then glue the base plate onto the bottom of the rocket. Be aware that the rocket is only made of paper, so it is subject to damage or corruption from dirt or water.
Also, the inks can fade from exposure to sunlight so be sure to protect it from that if you can. I've heard of people using UV blocking sprays like the ones people use on paintings on paper models before, but I've tried it and didn't like how it looked.
So, make sure you test any coating on a scrap before committing to it. Other than that, your work is done! So, I should mention that this Saturn V model can be built without using the metallic cardstock or the clear printable sticker paper.
I've added the optional parts to the pattern to allow for that. Also, there is a Lunar Module that can be made in the same scale of the Saturn V, and although it currently has no instructions, that's a problem I am trying to remedy.
Please note that the pictures above show the first Saturn V that I made with the old pattern. Reply 4 months ago. Yeah absolutely! Make it fly and then burn up and break into pieces just like the real one did lol. Yeah, I wasn't serious but now I am thinking there's no reason this can't be simplified to just incorporate the aesthetic bits over a tube on a flying rocket - as for multi-stage I assume the stage separations is what you're referring to? Maybe do multiple sugar rocket engines?
When the lower ones burn out they could trigger others to start that are higher in the fuselage? That would be cool especially if it somehow burned through the fuselage and allowed the spent engines to fall away.
But regardless, I agree that it could be simplified to just incorporate the aesthetic bits over a tube on a flying rocket and that would be cool enough. I'm currently working on a metal scale model of Starship for this year's space contest, which is now open. Well, you have a fan in me.
So multi-stage sugar rockets have been attempted and even successfully flown but so much work and burning and fire and stuff! I'll post in "I built it" when I get mine done. Very nice! Well done sir! I'm glad you like it. I've never seen the models you are describing I may have to check that out. I'm currently working on a metal scale model of Starship for this year's space contest which is now open.
I'm making it in metal instead of paper or foilboard. Question 6 months ago. Answer 6 months ago. Question 7 months ago.
Answer 7 months ago. Keep in mind that the doughnuts fit pretty tightly, and it may take several attempts to get it to go in. If it isn't going into the tube then maybe there is something wrong with the doughnut or the tube, so you could try remaking one of them. Otherwise, I would need to see a picture of what you are dealing with to be of more assistance.
