You will have a choice; open or closed. I'll provide 2 sets of hinges.

The front exterior quadrant of the outer shell is finished; at least for now. The first 2 pictures show the outer forward window panel. The remaining pictures just show the outer shell placed over the crew compartment. When the outer shell is lowered over the crew compartment, the windows nest perfectly into the windows on the crew compartment.

The EVA handles came out as expected.

Next: Finish placing the details on the other 3 quadrants of the outer shell.

Wonderful work, Ken. Magnificent detailing. I'd like to see a photo with you holding the capsule in your hand to get a better grasp of the scale. Would that be possible?

hahaha! yeah, I didn't even notice the mistake, I was just looking at Ken's hand and the capsule. But shucks... It's that metric system again, eh?

30.5 cm is correct! I fat-fingered the calculator without thinking. But don't panic; my fingers are not that fat when it comes to modeling.
