Enter the Dragon!
Couldn't resist the movie reference!
 Here's my 1/72 SpaceX Dragon spacecraft from the CRS-12 resupply mission to the International Space Station in August 2017. It's Alfonso's design (axmpaperspacescalemodels.com), enlarged from its original scale of 1/100 using Gimp graphics software. I added a few strips of white vinyl tape and other paper panels to make some of the 2-D structures three-dimensional. I also glued a small semicircle of plastic sheet under the attach point of each solar panel for support; at this scale at least, they won't stay level without propping up. This was an easy build for me -- less than two weeks! Eventually, I'll build the Progress, ATV and Kounotori ISS resupply ships as well.  Les (The Voice of Authority)

Wow, it is gorgeous!
It scaled really well, Umtutsut. Well done!

Very nice. I will sometimes sandwich transparent sheet in something like the solar panels to help give extra support. Makes it last a bit longer before gravity causes a droop
