    1/12 Apollo Command Module

    Started assembl side panels. There are different types of switches. Made imitation of beads of 15/0 and wire 0.5 mm. Although they are a little bit larger than necessary size and not in scale, but they look very good.

    Skeleton frame vs sections in aircraft models

    The paper model allows you to start from the beginning. It is enough to print and cut again.

    Skeleton frame vs sections in aircraft models

    There is also a sandwich rule. If the part is too thin, it is always possible to glue another layer of paper or cardboard and get needed thickness.

    Skeleton frame vs sections in aircraft models

    I agree with @zathros the selection of paper and cardboard is one of the most important steps for creating a paper model. Also, no one canceled the sandpaper. If something does not fit somewhere, you can always modify it with sandpaper. Also stick to the rule - do not rush, be patient, and if...

    Skeleton frame vs sections in aircraft models

    I also assembled several airplanes and helicopters with different inner frames you are talking about. And I totally agree with Rhaven Blaack. Models witn sceleton frames is more durable than ovals frames. You just need to learn how to assemble it. You do not need to glue in a panel way...

    Shaping, cutting and coloring tutorials

    Over time, I found out that using a large soft mat to form parts is not always convenient, so sponges for a marker board of different sizes were bought and I found a soft cube in my child's toys. And also I collect tubes and rods of different diameters wherever possible. By the way, tudes are...

    1/12 Apollo Command Module

    Section 6 is finished. I remade the tumblers near the sextant and telescope, they are recessed in the prototype. To do this, I cut out the attachment point of the toggle switches, wrapped the resulting parts with a strip of paper, and glued them from below. I also added rivets to mount...

    1/12 Apollo Command Module

    Result for the last 2 evenings. Divided all the elements of the "floor" into separate parts. This will give the feel of a patchwork. All that remains is to glue a bunch of small parts and a sextet with a telescope.

    So SECTION 5 is 99% complete, the rest of the small parts I will finish after assembling all the parts. Continuing to build SECTION 6. But I have a problem finding pictures of this part of the cockpit, and I need help from the community. This section is under the crew chairs and the main...
