Project 1/12 Apollo.

[Hi-Torque]

Here is a link to all of the NASA online publications. "Stages to Saturn" and "Chariots for Apollo" should be of interest.

Maybe we should invite one of the designers from Eastern Europe, or Russia to do the Soyuz

Here you go Nighthawk.

These are the dimensions you need to design the interface to the Service Module. 12.2 inches to the inside of the Boost Protective Cover.

Thanks for the dimensions they are more clearer than the ones I have got!!!
Thanks again

[QUOTE=nighthawk78;365000]Thanks hi-torgue the pictures are good, I never realised that the service module carried experiments, /QUOTE]

I never realized that Apollo had EVA's!! I thought only Gemini did that until the shuttle came along. Learned my new thing for the day.

I am sorry to say this but I don't think I will be able to design the SM because my techniques aren't as good as KenlWest ones and I haven't had enough design practice yet, So if anyone wants to take over the challenge feel free.
Of course I would have enjoyed designing it but I don't think it's for me. :(
Thanks again

Hello Rene,
The testbuild of the CM are in this thread;
Apollo command module - 1:12

And the egg-plane came out fine after 3,5 minutes boiling

Hi,
I am going on in designing a SIV B in 1:12. But I have to less time to going on with the construction.

The diameter will be 0,55 m and the length will be 1,48 m. The fist step was the designing of the upper bulkhead.

Regards
