Good evening underwoodl06! I'm building too the s0 truss now and it is nearly finish!I did it without programm, because it is nearly all white. I've drawn pieces with microsoft word... it's easy and fast, but the s0 truss don't request a lot of drawings! To help the construction, I've searched a lot of pictures in different websites, if you want them, you can send me a mail, I'll send to you! The construction needs a lot of time, now I've spent ca. 25 hours (search and design include!) only for the s0 truss. I'll post pictures on my blog when it will be finish Maquette de la Station Spatiale Internationale en papier! I'm doing the finishings! And you, do you progress in your construction? See you! a+

Hi everybody! I've added my own build s0 truss on my scalemodel! You can see it here: Maquette de la Station Spatiale Internationale en papier ! If you have any questions, don't hesitate! See you

[underwoodl06]

hmm..interesting, I haven't seen a model of the Truss Elements available yet. Where did you get a hold of that S0 truss?

I also see that you made the Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. I finally get to see my work put into use (I edited the existing model available at the Delta7studios website and renamed the wings and cockpits.) I myself have made Discovery, but I never saw anyone else use the pieces. Thanks for making them, they look great!!.

Well done Greg on your build, I never realised that the ATV was that big until I saw it docked to the back of your ISS

Nice work

Congratulations... I've tried to start mine a lot of times, but I'm a little lazy (just a little). Maybe in the next... 10 or 15 years I'll start to ensamble it, I'm not so sure...
Greetings.

Hello underwoodl06, I to have worked on this model to try and complete it and have finished KIBO and Columbus, also Node 2 can be made from using the existing Unity module. Im stuck myself on how to make the truss and solar panels along with the arm.


good luck finishing it!!!!!!

Hi underwoodl06

For tutorials in design with simple free software you can't beat this.

Better Modeling with Meta/Pep/P.N – Tutorial 1: Introduction

For putting pictures on the forum try this.

How to attach pictures or files to a post

Good luck

Hmm.. How did you manage to make Kibo and Columbus? (do you have any pictures? would be great to see) I have not yet gotten as far as making the modules, I was just told by Mr. Fortezza that he is abroad and will be sending out the model as soon as he returns, which I hope is really soon. Nice to see this thread up and moving again. Thanks guys.

Hi, Underwoodl06.

When I look around the forums, I often find that pictures posted in places like photobucket tend to disappear after a time.

If you upload pictures here, directly, they tend to stay put.

Don't use the 'quick reply' box. Use the big blue 'post reply' button.

Below the message edit box you will see a 'manage attachments' button.
With this, you can browse your hard drive and upload pictures.

I hope this helps you.

Hey Underwoodl06, I got some pics of KIBO and Columbus along with the rest of the station you may also notice the PIRS docking Module as well.

enjoy everyone

[underwoodl06]

Oh Very Interesting, Nice work. Where did you get the PIRS docking compartment and the other modules? I'd really like to know

[NYC Irish]

oooohhh very nice well done

I hope everyone enjoyed the pics. So as for the Modules themselves i just did a little modification using scraps that i had screwed up on, also for the PIRS Module I used a tech sheet from the NASA website. Also Columbus i researched using a material pamplet found on the ESA website, and KIBO was done the same way. If you say Dr. Fortezza is finishing this id like to see the remaining pieces it should look great.

Could you please go into more detail as to how you made the modules? I mean, the shape and structure is almost flawless. How did you get the top
of the JEM correct? and how did you get the curves of the conicle sections on Columbus? Also, could you please give a link to the material pamphlet for Columbus? I serached all over the site for it but couldn't find it. Thanks and Keep the updates coming.
