I just added that to my Christmas list last night. The owner had a write up in my Embry- Riddle Alumni magazine. Don't know if my wife is going to feel like adding to my ever growing collection of stuff, but at 62 inches tall that would make a great display. If we can get some additional interest maybe we (Collect Space) could get a group discount. |

The Apogee kits are NOT for the beginner. Lots of vacuum formed wraps which are very fragile and unforgiving. If you haven't worked with this type of multi media kit, practice on something else before shelling out the big money. However, both of the Apogee Saturn kits are nothing short of awesome.-tracy
