Just for you, I will re-paint the 8-balls. I wasn't very happy with them anyway...
Will this pic help Ken with detail? It is taken from an actual Saturn V Flight Manual for SA507 (Apollo 12). Actually, maybe the detail is a bit of overkill, even at the scale you are working, lol!

I think the picture helped... Take a look at the "before" and "after" pictures... Nando will like these a little better.

Nice one, Ken! That does looks good! Nando has got to like that result, surely?

Perhaps I haven't quite appreciated just how physically large this model is going to be.

This is a beautiful design and build Ken. Not to nitpick, but since you asked for input, if you're going to go the distance with the 8-balls, might as well center the right-side indicator and add the bottom one. It stands out comparing your after pic to the thumbnail of the photo from the manual. Otherwise, nicely done. Nobody would ever notice if they didn't have the photo right next to it. See what I mean:

Yup. I was wondering if anyone would notice. But I already put the indicators on for the final version; I just didn't want to add them to the panel because it would eliminate the shingled effect. Your name is in the hat.

Thanks,

Ken

Sweet, that wasn't the goal with the comment, but I'll gladly accept entrance into the contest.

I just glued them over the top of the old versions for expediency. In production, the 8 balls will be the third layer down in the sandwich, which will make them look more like the real CM.

Also, here is a picture of the second layer, which shows the updated indicators that cMags was talking about earlier.

Tonight, I decided to build the right-hand side console.

Picture 1 - layout of parts

Picture 2 - Built up. I took a picture under the lamp so that you could see the 3-dimensional effect that the layering has.

Picture 3 - Installed.

This console contains one of the food storage bins, waste management system (I can only imagine what that is for), Sanitary supplies (goes with the previous comment), and the Bio Instrument Kit storage.
