Of course I have it. You probably forgot, I already shrunk the bananas box.

Started the last wall of the crew compartment. In general, everything is going to easily, and there is nothing special about it. But I decided to improve the fire extinguisher, since it was not at all like the one that was installed in the module. I found photos and tried on the basis of...

Assembled the docking mechanism. I accidentally broke it after painting and had to be reassembled. For good reason, this whole part needs to be completely redone, since the mechanism does not fit very well with the ring, but I will probably leave it as it is, or maybe assemble it again...

The assembly of the docking mechanism moves very very slowly due to the rather complex parts. For example, I decided not to make top of this part from paper, and make it from a drop of superglue.

I also tried to paint the thermal shield, but I really did not like the result. The stripes that imitate the honeycomb are almost invisible. After looking through a huge number of photos with the installation of the command module on the service module, everywhere the shield is painted in...

Another model update that has not yet reached assembly, but took a fair amount of time to find accurate and render. I decided to make a full-fledged pasting with tape of the entire externally cladding, with the maximum imitation of thermal tape. The imitation itself will not be made of...

In parallel with the rest of the parts, I slowly assemble the thermal shield. All parts were cut with a laser from 2 types of paper, the paper was selected according to the thickness so that the desired thickness was according to Ken's instructions. I sand and paint on the street because of the...

A wheel holder I made myself many years ago. This is a regular bicycle spoke. Which I turned on a conventional drill in the same way, reduced the diameter with sandpaper and cut the M1 thread. I took the fixing nut for this thread from old glasses, this is that piece of the nose pad attachment.

I continue to build the lower part of the module. I decided to make fuel tanks according to the principle of wheels for aviation. Assembled a sandwich from round parts and grinded them on an engraver, soaked everything with superglue, grinded again and paint it. Installed pipelines.

Assembled the tunnel door. I didn't like it for its simplicity and I decided to make it more realistic. Added many missing elements, labels and icons. And of course I installed the rivets. This is a Ken's version. And this is my updated version.

Began assembling the bottom of the module. All elements are reinforced with cardboard. The main part was glued with thick black paper from the inside. Ken suggested making the upper forming ring from 4 parts, I decided to cut this part out of 2 layers of black paper and with only one part...

Good idea, I'll probably make it.

Added parachute risers and completed the docking corridor. The risers were made of copper wire and heat shrink tubing. Riser ties made of paper.

In case something goes wrong. :laughrolling:

Here is circuit diagram of my electrical addons for model https://www.zealot.com/threads/battery-power-touch-sensor-switch-for-any-scale-model.181621/#post-1045433

Didn't find the correct section to post this thread, posting here because this section is more close to the post theme. May be need new section on the forum, like a "Electronics for models", or somthing like this. In this circuit I used: the cheapest touch sensor on a TTP223. (7$ for 30 pc on...

I don't think so, it's just a button with the simplest trigger logic, with 2 states 0 and 1, and a charger, which is also nothing special. If I installed a microcontroller, then yes, maybe you would be right about the power count.

At this stage, main electronics are installed, the model will be powered by LiPo battery, with charger, and switched on with touch button. The touch button had to be modified since it cannot pass a large current through itself, I had to install a transistor key. Charger external port...

And of course, I repainted the partitions between the sections of the compartment in the correct color.

The first test to simulate fabric elements. The base is a fabric plaster from the pharmacy, and ribbons from sewing accessories. After assembly all parachutes II will also add an opening cable. The remaining 2 parachutes, I will do it differently. I will print the mirror parts, I will glue...
