You may notice curvature and lack of symmetry in the details. At first I was upset that I did not perfectly assemble the front shield. But then I remembered the story of Fallout 4, a robot that survived a nuclear war and has been operating for over 200 years cannot be super perfect. I will also...

While I'm taking a mental break from the Apollo CM and thinking about improving some of the details, I decided to fulfill my old Wishlist. I found a person who could competently create a model for me to unfold into paper. As a basis, I will take a wooden ball with a diameter of 45 mm, everything...

Don't worry, it will be fixed after full assembly, I will add a wash, and matt varnish.

I got printed latches and some part of the hatch lock elements. Just reducing the size to 1/12 scale did not spoil their quality. And in theory, if you slightly alter some details of latches and make the wall thickness a little thicker, then you can even make a working mechanism on this scale.

I would redesign it to simplify assembly. Vut now I'm generally thinking of ordering 3D printing of latches. Yesturday I found STL files of latches from Adam Savage. If the test print works, then I will use exactly the resin parts printed. It is not a problem for me to replace some of the parts...

Yes, I'm already trying to build something more like on a prototype.

Someone stop me, Im built a new hatch. Again, I was not satisfied with the fact that the hatch was not as accurate as I would like. Now the version already looks like I wanted.

Having assembled the outer part of the hatch, I decided to check for rivets, and found that Ken gives one of the first versions of the hatch. Yes, the hatch looks good, but not the way it should be. I drew the correct frame of the porthole, and remade the outer wall for it. New frame...

If you don't find it, no big deal. I will assemble from Ken's set.

@Revell-Fan Can I ask you to unfold this part? I will try to do working mechanism, if it possible in this size.

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.

And I found what kind of stand I will make to demonstrate the model at home.

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...

The frame of the main hatch is ready. First I dug out all the holes, and then glued the rounds back.

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.

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...

One and a half hours for each set of frames With a good punch and a hammer, you can make a lot of holes very quickly.

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.

As for the service module, I'm not sure yet, but LM I already planning to increase the model from UHU02 to 1/12 scale and also add a lot of small details.

EVA external handles assembled, painted and installed.
