I got sidetracked by some Vintage models, and by my Flickr 'New Photo Collection' (4000 visitors in just three months - have a look, and send your own photo's:
Flickr: Den Bakker's Photostream ). But I have now made some progress on the space station. As I wrote before - it is a very crude model, bad fit everywhere, large gaps have to be filled with extra bits of paper and lots of white glue - but in spite of this, it is an amusing model. The main construction is now complete - only to find that the round domes at top and bottom of the central axis are not included in the parts. One is expected to fashion them out of balsa. A designer friend is working on a paper construction for me.
