Earlier this year I started building a 1/144 Saturn V to go with the 1/144 Shuttle Discovery stack I did, and I wanted to honor Apollo 13 as well. After some setbacks and rethinking I finally got the big bird finished, using the Monogram S-IC, S-II, and S-IVB parts, and the Airfix CSM, LEM, and “garage” doors that connect them to the S-IVB. Also used the decals from Rick Sternbach, et al. (Space Model Systems, ordered from CultTVMan).

The LEM Aquarius is stored inside the “garage” like it would be on the pad on the real thing, ready for launch. I used Haynes books as well as Mackowski’s Apollo LEM book for guidance.
I'll even excitedly look forward to "flags and footprints" and suborbital missions. Just fly...somewhere.

More images of the Saturn, before I closed things up.

Good work.  Looks like most of your models on the mantle are to scale.
PS:  I have a similar-size Saturn V model in my living room.  Depressing how many house guests only know it's some kind of rocket. :(
Launches attended:  Apollo 11, ASTP (@KSC, not Baikonur!), STS-41G, STS-125, EFT-1, Starlink G4-24, Artemis 1
Notable Spacecraft Observed:  Echo 1, Skylab/S-II, Salyuts 6&7, Mir Core/Complete, HST, ISS Zarya/Present, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, Dragon Demo-2, Starlink G4-14 (8 hrs. post-launch), Tiangong
