Twice, the first ones that I rejected and then threw away, I also drilled. And so nothing at all, about an hour and a half for all the frames. It took more time to position the frames on paper and glue the tape inside them.

Just and hour and a half, eh? Start planning the display case.

With a good punch and a hammer, you can make a lot of holes very quickly.
The display case has not yet been developed. I am thinking of making 2 options, one for the house in an assembled state under a transparent cap, the second for exhibitions so that it is divided into all parts and they stand separately. With the first case, everything is very simple, but with the second one I still think how best to do it.Start planning the display case.

I agree. The 2nd method woul be most informative, and interesting display to look at.
Option 1 for beauty, option 2 for information... Hmmmm Seems to me like you need to build another one. 
Imagine what kind of display stand would have to be for an informative presentation if I assemble SM and LM.
And if it will also be in two versions, then I'm afraid that my wife will kick me out of the house with my models.

Make it lifesize and tell your wife that this will be your new house then.
The frame of the main hatch is ready.
First I dug out all the holes, and then glued the rounds back.

Looking through the door into the capsule, what a great picture! 
The outer skin is ready. The thruster nozzles are difficult to assemble, I spent an hour trying to figure out how to assemble it, I even had to use tweezers held in a third hand to make it convenient to glue all the elements. Then I sanded it and painted it. The crane mounts at the top of the skin were also redesigned.
And I found what kind of stand I will make to demonstrate the model at home.
And so, proceeded to the main hatch. I reinforce all the details with cardboard to make the design durable. Now the thickness of the inner wall is already more than 2 mm.
@Revell-Fan Can I ask you to unfold this part? I will try to do working mechanism, if it possible in this size.Having seen the video I tinkered a bit around and came up with this:

It is by any means not perfect because I don't have any measurements (and I doubt you could use it on a real Apollo capsule
I'd love to but I don't find the file any more. It may take some time till I have checked my hard drives.
