Enter the Dragon!

Couldn't resist the movie reference!

Here's my 1/72 SpaceX Dragon spacecraft from the CRS-12 resupply mission to the International Space Station in August 2017.

It's Alfonso's design (axmpaperspacescalemodels.com), enlarged from its original scale of 1/100 using Gimp graphics software. I added a few strips of white vinyl tape and other paper panels to make some of the 2-D structures three-dimensional. I also glued a small semicircle of plastic sheet under the attach point of each solar panel for support; at this scale at least, they won't stay level without propping up.

This was an easy build for me -- less than two weeks! Eventually, I'll build the Progress, ATV and Kounotori ISS resupply ships as well.
