A question about your 11 may post,Joberg, what are these parts that fit perfectly on the round base and give great panels effect ? Is that plastic card ? From shop or home made ? Thank you for your help and great inspiration source. |

It's on the second page, when you write about the "cladding of the module". You have had many panels of different sizes on the base, these were those I was talking about. |

O.k. got it Yes, plasti-card (or Syntra). Took the circumference of the main spoke and made the half round cut.
Some of the panelling is from inside holder from cookie or biscuit boxes.
It's a dark brown shiny plastic that can be used for that purpose.
The Space Station is full of those |

Many thanks for that Joberg. Cookies and biscuits are so a precious help for modelers. I love the idea |

Joberg, I've been amazed following this epic build.
The scale, the detail is brilliant I can only imagine your next build will be big enough to live in! 😀😀 _________________ Tell him I'm eating.. |

Understandably. She might worry she'd be required to walk on the ceiling. |

Well, in between renos and the Space Station there's little time.
This is a looksee to make sure the big ring is going to fit properly (small adjustments to make, but nothing major).
240 windows have been cut-out and will be framed, one by one, with 4 lill' quarter rounds (= 960 pieces to cut )

Thanks Colin...question for the lighting of those 240 windows.
Should I go with Light Bars, or EL wire or LED wire?
The whole set-up should be battery powered and "light weight". I'll try to cram the battery into the main module that you see in the pic. |

But how your 240 windows cut-out can be so perfectly regular ??
For me it's the awfull thing in modeling : multiple and repetitive gestures on a same kind of work.
My solution is to make a little every day otherwise it's so painfull. Bravo for your patience !

How can the windows can be so regular? Measuring, tracing and a lot of patience is required.
As my Father said: follow the line and make it as straight as possible.
I cut free-hand 99% of my work. I seldom use a ruler but that's experience over the many years of doing it. |

Thanks Fred. Getting there ever so slowly (the renovations in the house didn't help ) But I'm getting into it again; I'm cutting panels already (12 different types) |

Well, not all was lost during renovation time. This is a dry-fit and, as you can see, I still have to build the other side of that 1/4 rim + the underside as well.

Well, this part now is painted and the windows are done (opaque plastic).
That's it for now |
