A great model, Nando; are you going to make this commercially available? If so, sign me up!

Those little figures are awesome for scale!
I can't recall whether it was the yellow orbital space station or the nuclear space station designs that were made into plastic model kits, but one of them had this ship you're making docking with it, on the box art of the kit. That gave the sense of scale for the space station too!

Mike absoletely not shame! Your model is wonderful, but as I said, I would have liked to realize the entire stack, so I started my own project and your model is an inspiration for my work.
Thanks dhanners. Your appreciation is great for me. Quote:

There is much more work to do if you want to release a model buildable from people other than yourself. Quote:
About the yellow station, I think you refer to the model kit of the Disney’s Space Station ( the Nuclear one ) produced first by Strombecker and then reissued by Glencoe. In the box-art of the last one, it is depicted a Ferry Rocket, but that of the Disney’s era.

First Stage
Back to the model first stage.
First I assembled the inter-stage section ![]() ![]() ![]() Then I started with the body of the stage. I marked small bumps for have a reference where to put the positioning ring inside. ![]() I assembled the parts using the bulkheads, and the fit was good. ![]() ![]() ![]() The two segments joined. ![]() The interior side of engine’s compartment was clad. ![]() … and finally the stowage compartment of the parachute. ![]() Now I’m dealing with the engines (51), and I not found a solution that I like. To be continue.

Ah! You're right! Now that would be a good kit too.

Sorry

Sorry, I wasn't clear! I was saying that either of the old Glenco space stations would make good paper models, it the curves could be managed.
