Artemis and Falcon 9 in 1/72 scale

Just completed this 1/72 scale Artemis II launch vehicle and decided to compare it to a Falcon 9? with a Dragon II on top. The Artemis stands almost 54 inches tall compared to the Falcon at 34 inches tall in actual measurements. the Falcon elevated 2 inches due to it's main engine stand on which the entire model is nicely balanced. This gives you an excellent idea of how large the Artemis is. The actual Artemis is over 320 feet tall, where a Saturn V was 363 feet tall. The Artemis model shown here contains a number of 3D printed parts, all of which are on the main core of the rocket. The Falcon 9 is completely resin-cast and the only 3D printed parts on it are the grid fins. The engines are machined polished aluminum. SRB's were stretched to 5 segment boosters using 72nd scale boosters from a couple of shuttle kits.
