The second PLSS unit (backpack) should be stowed lying on the floor between astronauts in front of the ascent engine cover. Whats missing from the model (I might be wrong) are the helmet stowage bags but I guess it would be quite crowded (as it was with the real thing) with them in the interior too.

Thank you for this hint,
It comes later to the cabin and we will see....

Michael, this is coming along great! You're REALLY moving on it. UHU did a fine job designing but it takes a good builder to make it come to life, and you're certainly doing that.
If you're building this you must have quite an interest in the lander. I highly recommend the book "Moon Lander" by Thomas J.Kelly. Fascinating look at the development of the lander and it's use by one of the designers himself. Considering it's a book about a piece of hardware, it's a page-turner, hard to put down.

Thank you Joe!

So, today "only" a few tanks, oxygen, helium, etc.
These are positioned left and right of the section.
This is probably the "foreplay" ends and it goes with real work on the back of the module further, and I think or hope that my experience with the Launchpad 39A/Atlantis will help in the construction of many struts ....

This model has come together quickly, looking good.

Nice looking build.

So friends, then it goes on ....
On Weekend I continued with the back, some tanks and the beginning of the AFT EQUIPMENT BAY.
Everything without any major problems, but just very delicate.
The big red balloons (Fuel and oxidizer tank), I also
provided with a frame in the middle so it is right around .... well, you also should make yourself adhesive tabs. (The model
is almost entirely without tabs!)
Then all the parts will mounted.

Hi Michael,

nice tiny details, and everything back in high quality, as usual. Keep up the great build.

**jagolden01** · #29 04-28-2014, 07:53 AM

What a super job, Michael. The work on the tanks is nice. Spheres always get me - your came out nice.
One of the thing I like about the LM is the non-symetrical design of it.
Enjoying your build very much. Thanks for documenting. Think this will be valuable to any others who choose to build it.
