1/32 lunar module

[Lunokhod 2]

Hello to all, Here are two new pictures of the interior construction for the mid-section of the ascent stage, in particular showing the Environmental Control System. This LM is being designed in 3D and printed on shapeways. Instructions are here : http://spacemodels.nuxit.net/1-32%20LM/index.htm

all i can ever say.   amazing

Today is a milestone in the construction of the first available plastic model of the 1/32 Lunar Module. I completed the construction of the ascent stage mid-section interior. To be honest when I started this project I didn't know much about 3D modelling and I was not certain the level of precision was compatible with 3D printing. I was successful in modelling the entire LM as far as the outside parts are concerned. For the interior the tiny knobs and switches are really at the limit of what a 3D printer can do today. The mid-section looks very nice at this scale and I am confident that I will manage to design the interior for the forward section. I really expect to complete the design job before the end of the year.

I just completed all parts for my 1/32 Lunar Module in 3 D. All parts are now available on Shapeways and I uploaded today the first instructions on my web site for the forward section interior. It has been a long way since I started in February 2014 almost 2 years ago. I still have a few things to do like the control panel decals but this will be done along the final assembly of the model.
 
I will now try to design a lunar base for LM-5 with the correct roll, pitch and yaw plus a pole to support the 1/32 CSM and I would like to add some parts to the LRV to have a fully functional one and not just the one at the moment of LRV extraction as it is now. Most of the parts are more or less already done since there are parts of the LRV pallets or the MESA but they need to be adapted somehow (rear pallets are already available).
 
Note the LM is also available in the 1/24 and 1/16 scales
