Too soon to predict when this will be available.. Unfortunately, I can't formulate any predictions based on earlier projects I have done since the CM is MUCH more complicated than all of them combined! But, I can predict that the instruction set alone will blow one's mind. I am not aware of any model out there that is constructed in the way the CM is designed; particularly with the intent to dis-assemble and reassemble seamlessly. The instructions will take alot of time (probably more than the model itself). We have all dealt with the instructions sheet for a typical aircraft model; especially low-detail aircraft, can be a little lean because most aircraft are built the same way. But this is a very different animal. You have my word that I will not release this model until I am satisfied that future builders will be successful. The model will also have to pass the critical scutiny of knowledgable people who know a fake when they see it. What you see so far is a prototype with issues. These issues will be corrected in due time; as the CM deserves an all-out effort. Thanks for watching! Ken

Ken, I'm just happy to see this one come together!
If and when you make it available I will be what I expect will be a very long line of happy modelers seeking to the opportunity and honor to build this amazing model. Until then, I continue to enjoy each and every update and feel very fortunate indeed to be able to witness the creation of this kit. Cheers! Jim |

Was fortunate enough to be in San Diego on business this past weekend, at very short notice, so I made sure to pop in to the San Diego Air & Space museum and have a very close look at the Apollo 9 CM 'Gumdrop'. A very hearty thanks to space author Francis French (francisfrench.net) for the admission ticket. |

Thanks guys!
Tonight, I present to you, the hatch frame, and the forward girth shelf...... The hatch frame is probably one of the most difficult pieces of geometry I have ever done. But, it came out great, and the fit is really good too! Picture 3 shows the latch pawl detents that get folded and glued into the frame... I elected to forgo the exercise of installing them for the prototype... I know they will fit. NEXT: Forward windows. Ken

If this is a tired old repeat I'll remove it, but I feel it needs to be said:
