TimW Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 Mylar strip time. Yes, I have an accurate diagram of where and how many. No, I can't promise I'll meet that 100 percent. BiggTim, Gazzas and Squizzy 78 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 OK, that was super tedious, but I like the end result. Let's hear it for shiny adhesive foil... Still have to do some of the panels and the uppermost section of the CM. LSP_Kevin, Out2gtcha, Dany Boy and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 More progress. Finally doing the decals, which are excellent from Space Model Systems (CultMan TV has them). They are delicate, however, so use caution. Gazzas, Out2gtcha, BiggTim and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimW Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Thanks! Astronauts will be up next. Leaving off the antenna array until the end--because if I put it on now I'll just break it off... still touching up to do on the CM and elsewhere, but a lot of the heavy lifting is done. Also leaving off engine bell--easier to work with this thing without it on there right now. Also found a stand from Polar Lights that I think will support all this plastic and resin.

TimW Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 BTW, anybody have ideas on where to get 1/32 astronaut space suit decals? There's a site called JBOT that used to do them--but apparently the owner had a stroke in 2018 and isn't filling orders anymore. I can't find anything anywhere else.

TimW Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 A bit more progress. Hatch and EVA camera installed, as well as the EVA light. Probably should have thought of a way of LEDing the light, but oh well. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimW Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) Thanks. That hatch was a real PITA to sand (the casting was a bit rough) and then paint. the windows are that Crystal Kleer stuff--I couldn't manage with plastic that didn't look dirty or scuffed afterward. there's an inner and outer window. Next come the astronauts. Edited February 12, 2019 by TimW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 Nice. I used the guy pressing the button in mine. Hard to see inside the CM. Cheers, Tim W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
