Last build entry.
I made the definitive version of the inner shield using metallic coloured paper. I printed the rescue instructions separately and glued them on later. The insides of the capsule were reinforced a bit and the shield section was glued on. To make the outside of the hull look more coarse like the real thing, I used black paint mixed with fine grained sand, mostly used for bird cages. I applied it heavily to one side, slightly and gradually less toward the umbilical / periscope section on the opposite side.
And then all I still needed to do is putting it on the deck of the Zil to finish the build.

And that's it. One almost by-the-book built Zil 4906 "Kran" designed by Maksart and one fully scratch built Soyuz capsule designed by myself. On and off it took me from mid December last year until now to get it finished.

And... I really like your critics and comments. Without it, it feels a bit as if no one even is interested in this build at all...

Thanks!
