OK people, the inside is almost finished. I've just some more little bits I still want to put inside my cabin before declaring it finished. Here are first two:

1) Laptops: in all mission photos you always see plenty of laptops laying around in any free spot available. I've choosen a photo where the screen is reasonably square (photo taken at a low angle) and used it to obtain a perfect copy of the actual STS134 desktop.
I also wanted to add a blue screen freezed PC (being Microsoft stuff I'm sure it happened sometimes... )

2) Timers: you see a lot of them attached to every surface around the cabin. The astronauts were very concerned about timetables if they was counting seconds all the time. This is a very little thing in 1:16. I've found a photo showing the exact model they used and draw it carefully. I printed the LCD on a separate glossy sheet but I'm sure the difference will not be noted...

...for the very last internal detail I need to first tell you a story because this little bit involves a personal memory and I want to explain why I choose the STS134 and not another mission... but I'll tell you next time, as soon as I'll have builded it.
