dekon70 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Well, this tread is a couple of firsts for me. I have never done a GB before and I have never built a spacecraft before. I said I was going to do this GB, but was waiting on a detail set to arrive. Well it showed up on Friday. So, I am going to be building the 1/32 CSM with the following sets: New Ware Apollo Exterior Detail Set Real Space Models SIM Bay Space Model Systems Decal Set I am also using the Space in Miniature #6 Apollo Command and Service Module as a reference.

dekon70 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 So, while I was waiting for my sets to show up, I copied the pattern for the mylar that goes on the CSM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

K2Pete Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 If you want to remove the Gold coating on the Command Module, here's a tip from another CSM builder ... "The "gold" is really chrome plate with clear yellow over the top. Use denatured alcohol and a soft cloth to clean off the gold. The chrome is a great base color on which to scribe the tape lines." I've got this one about 30% done and it has been languishing in its box for about 3 or maybe even 4 years. I'd love to see yours completed. Don't be shy about posting lotsa pix!

dekon70 Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Not to much to update, but have cleaned up the New Ware set and am beginning to work on the Real Space Model set next. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dekon70 Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Slowly working on this. End of the school year work took up much of my time. Finished the year yesterday, now have time to really work. Will be updating soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
