Lunokhod 2 Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) The Command Module is now fnished. I used the Realspace CM with some modifications on the hatch. The handles were 3D printed. The CM is covered with BareMetal foil. Edited May 27, 2020 by Lunokhod 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spaceman Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Great job with the BareMetal foil, Vincent! Your patience and attention to detail also seem to be limitless ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

niart17 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 GREAT job! I'd started a similar venture with mating a Monogram LM and a Dragon CSM, but for stalled. I don't think I will get anywhere near your level. Beautiful. Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Peter Browne Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I may have missed it, but how are you getting the various colors on the adhesive aluminium paper? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are 3 types of blankets on the LM, a yellow gold one (on the right in the photo below) for which I used a survival blanket, an orange gold one (on the left in the photo below) which is quite difficult to find, in my case it was probably a flower wrapping paper that I kept for years. The final one is a copper one for which I used coffee bags bought on I am a spammer, please report this post. that have almost the same color as the original one. For the gold and orange foil you can also use Candyland Kraft - orange foil - gold foil Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Vincent, I will probably go with the FDA approved Candyland foil, you can never be too sure these days Edited June 3, 2020 by Peter Browne Quote Link to post Share on other sites
