Paper Kosmonaut, I agree, but Ken's marvellous work on the CM has really enthralled me, and I miss his regular updates. :-(

eagleclaw4935, you are probably correct ...... and I refer you to my comments immediately above. ;-)

Here is an update:

Sorry for not posting sooner, but here is what is going on. My son is graduating from HS this spring, so the wife is going nuts with the house work. Stripping wallpaper, repairing and painting... several rooms. Problem is; I'm doing all the work!

My son has also signed up for the BlueCoats Drum Corp for the second summer. And he has also been accepted into the University of Michigan School of Music, so we have been busy with that (mostly my wife). Lots of weekend car time on the road.

I go to work to get a break!

But, the Command Module is still very much on my mind, and it WILL get completed. Here is another element in play here. Several months ago, I went to the eye doctor and bought 2 new prescripted glasses. One week later, my eyes went blurry, so I returned, got an updated prescription and new glasses. The doctor couldn't explain the different prescription, but agreed to reorder the glasses at no expense to me. One week later, eyes are blurry again... but I can't go back for a third time. I have been walking around with blurry vision ever since.

My personal explanation is that spending 20 hours on the weekends, and even more during the weeknights, on my paper projects are probably the culprit... so I am kind of glad that the house work is taking me away from the work table for awhile. My eyes are not getting worse since I backed away from the work table, so I need to go back to the eye doctor.

The CM will get done.. just a little delay.

Thanks for your patience.

Ken

to keep the thread at the forefront by periodic 'tickling'.

No reasonable person will mind "waiting" since your project history is so impressive. Besides, there is PLENTY of stuff to work on in the meantime - right, guys?

Good luck with the remodeling. Hope your "man-boy" can get a summer job to help with the looming bills (mine did which really helped motivate him to 'stick with it', getting a taste of the real workplace...)

Cheers!

(So that people can use Macs and real computers at the same time *cough* <_<)

I have tried installing Wine that should allow Pepakura to run under OSX but haven't had any luck getting it to work.

this forum can be pressure inducing to "maintain the thread" dont fall victim to that,.. take a break,.. and feel no pressure,..
Besides,.. it gives me a great opportunity to finally build up the courage to think about building your x-15,.. LOL

Best if luck with everything and I hope it all works out for the best. I am sure this will be a solid work of art and I am only too happy to wait for it.
