On the main part, the adhesive tape is already glued. This turned out to be not as easy a task as I think.

Finished the top part, and proceeded to the panels. I dug a bunch of holes, glued tape and pushed it through to simulate flat-heat screws.
Well, the outer skin can be used as protection against 5g towers.

Really, it's beyond words. Fantastic craftsmanship. Looks like the real thing.
After trying on all the panels and seeing how they do not look nice, I decided to make a sandwich from several types of paper. And return to the option with the continuation of the adhesive tape and the frame.
I also had to make a convenient punch from a dispenser needle and cooper tube.

These bigger than life pictures speak to the quality of the build. Awesome! 
Panels completed and installed.
Proceeded to EVA external handles. In fact, this is a scratch build. Ken gives a very simplified version, no carabiner attachments, also the handle itself should be rectangular, but he gives it round. And of course, how without imitation of bolts.

EVA external handles assembled, painted and installed.
Okay, this is so great. 
and it's a shame that all the recovered Command Modules are so beat up after reentry. Seeing it this clean, it almost needs the Service module beneath it
here is Columbia as she sat at tha Smithsonian Air and Space museum...

I apologize for the size of the image, even reduced to 1000 pixels it's still massive.

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.Okay, this is so great.
I can remember sitting at my aunts house watching the news about Apollo 11, my grandparents didn't have a TV, but my aunt did... That fascination has followed me my whole life, I even watch the NASA feeds of all the launches... Worst one was watching Challenger explode on the crews monitor, then hearing the pieces hitting the water...
