Description

This is a 1:60 scale version of the Apollo Crawler that transported the Saturn V and LUT from the Vehicle Assembly Building to the launch pad.  

This model is based on a crawler at: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4563734 built by smc321.  It is a 1:70 scale model which doesn't match the 1:60 scale of everything else. The parts need to be scaled up by multiplying by .1166548 (also note that the parts are 10 times too large). As it turns out the more I got into it, the less of the original model I used.

I have separated out the building of various sections to keep the build simpler and more modular.  The Crawler Parts file is a comprehensive list of all required parts.  The Crawler Assembly is an assembly document of the initial platform and all the sub sections in the order they should be built.

Note that this is currently a work in progress.

The model has been broken out into a number of sub-models.  To complete the entire model, download the following models:
