well, with regards to that earlier image posting problem (with mediafire)
it seems they have been modifying things, and they came up with a solution to the loss of direct linking codes (for images).

An interim solution has been sent to me...although a bit late...and as of today I find another more permanent solution.

So maybe I wasn't the only one affected by this, or maybe my complaints did some good.

I am back to using mediafire...but I also have my own image storage options too!

...
okay, back to the Capsule, Houston...seems we don't have a problem any more.

So, I decided I am going to include the three Flotation Bags (2 larger, 1 smaller)
but I'll leave it up to the builder if they want use them, and to figure out how to attach them.

I plan on gluing the three together and then positioning them on top of the capsule.
The real thing is attached by ropes and air hoses.



Apparently the capsule cannot float on its side...it must be either right side up, or upside down.
And Columbia went upside down when it landed.
So the crew immediately activate the compressors and fill the bags, and right the capsule.
Not every Apollo capsule recovery used them.


I seriously considered adding the flotation collar, but then I decided against it.
It is not actually part of the spaceship...its brought to the capsule and installed by the recovery team after splashdown.



...
Anyway, I am just cleaning up all the pages and preparing the final PDF.

I've mocked up the cover image from some new photos of the model.
