[Paper Kosmonaut]

Thanks, Rifleman.

I am a little further now, with adding the top hatch and ring structure. Made it out of shiny metallic coated paper on which almost no glue sticks. The hatch itself is a tank dome of Leo Cherkashyn's Proton rocket. I used silver paper to cut it from. The ring is from a strip of rolled-up blue hobby paper, of which I sanded off the end of the strip to make the transition a little smoother. The ring and inside is made of metallic coated paper.
I spot welded the hatch to the ring with four strategically placed drops of CA glue. Then the whole shebang was put in place with a dab of PVA in the inside of the ring. After it had dried for a while I put a royal amount of PVA around the hatch from the inside of the capsule, securing it into place.

Now next is the inner shield of the Soyuz.
When the capsule descends on its parachute, the outer heat shield is jetissoned. beneath this shield there is the inner shield, housing braking rockets, homing beacons and an altimeter as well as bilingual instructions on how to free the occupants of this spacecraft if the salvage teams are nowhere to be seen and the people inside need some fresh air.
I made one trial and it looks all right but not all right enough. So I am puzzling on with where to place the text and the glue lines and all that.

and there you have it.
