I still don't have enough details. I found a photo with installed parachutes. The option provided in the model does not suit me with its simplicity. I will try to achieve maximum similarity with the original.

The instructions for this section are not very informative. And I want to show how to assemble parachutes. The first problem I run into is the complex shape of the parachutes. The paper does not really want to keep its shape, due to this the assembly becomes even more difficult Just like all...

Completed gluing thermal insulation. With Tamiya XF-1 imitate black tape and modified the parachute compartment. I made a preliminary tape on paper only for the sections where the windows are located. For all other sections, I glued the tape without paper, immediately onto the model, and cut...

I revised several options: thermo blanket, sunscreen for a car, construction insulation. Everything is not suitable for the scale, either too thick, or the texture is too large. Stopped on aluminum tape. I decided to try to wrinkle it, on a native paper basis, after a very gently pasted on a...

I thought and probably I do thermal insulation as in this photo.

Slowly I continue assemble the parachute compartment. Absolutely all elements were reinforced with a layer of thin cardboard. I did this first for painting, so as not to impregnate such large areas with superglue. Pre-assembly for airbrush painting. For this I use aviation gray color...

@zathros @Rhaven Blaack Thank you guys!

I finally found time to do a photo shoot for the diorama. Here is the result.

I hope you haven't lost me. I needed a break from building the model. The first attempt to assemble the docking corridor failed. I assembled it exactly according to the instructions, some of the parts, not in Ken's opinion, were easy to glue on cardboard. Due to this, the docking and...

Slowly I continue to assemble, almost everything is ready to glue all the panels into the skin. I also took a chance and decided to replace the LED. Everything turned out without damaging the details. Assembled hatch inner frame. The detail itself is very complex, so sorry guys I got...

I also gave away some of my models. Left only those who drank my blood. But only 2 of them are on the shelves, the rest are packed in boxes.

I probably won't bother so much. But the stand will definitely have to be made. Well, I have no storage space for such a large model. And what was in the room of the youngest son, already take the shuttle Tydirium on a scale of 1:50.

A small update, I decided to reinforce the arch with cardboard. The result is a 6-layer sandwich from 2 layers of paper, 2 layers of 0.5 cardboard and 2 layers of 1 mm cardboard. just the required thickness of the part is 3.5mm. Also assemble all the elements of this part. Now I'm waiting...

I wonder at what scale the 200 pages turned out?

Congratulations on completing the build. Looks awesome!

I tried several times to assemble in parts as Ken did, I did not like this installation. Assemble all panels and walls into one large piece. While I put it on dry. The outer side of the skin had to be painted, because bandings appeared during printing. 4 smd 5050 LEDs in the main...

Don't worry, too much praise isn't good either. In general, for me, self-criticism is the best way to improve my work. I use this method in my main work as a commercial photographer, trying to analyze and improve my work every time, only I fully understand where I could have made a mistake, and...

I'm not in a rush, I'm just surprised that I spent so much time on such simple detailsfor me.

I'm sure your model will be cooler! I'm queuing up to become a test builder!

I just thought, maybe in a larger size, for example 1-32 or 1-24, it will be easier to assemble such a sphere, and perhaps it will be better to connect the petals. For a scale of 1:48, the sphere is not very large, and it is not always convenient to climb into it with your fingers to position...
