International construction ISS in Kerbal orbit.

[Devo]

Ah well, all we can do is push on. I'm still trying to figure out what bobcat needs the dimensions to, as he has all the original models I sent him, he can load it up and

see physically how big they are.

Im delete all models. You autor and this your models.

You can send me again? Or send me size PMA and Node1

Oh ok sorry, will send you models again

[khagar]

When will be released mod with these details?

[WCOLE360]

No set release date.

[WCOLE360]

Due to my extra time, I'm making a MPLM, it's going good so far, I've got rounded caps instead of docking port capable caps yet. Here's the first example. I want y'all to know, ALL OF THIS WILL CHANGE, detail added, top and bottom fixed, just give me time, it's been 5 minutes.

This is temporary, no harsh opinions please. Like I said before, it will be changing mostly.

[CluelessModeler]

Hey everybody, I'm just starting up in modelling, if I can help at all, please, let me know! I'll do the very best I can!

[WCOLE360]

MPLM Update:

Well, I'm thinking shorter and abit wider like the actual thing, but it's gotten better!

[Netris]

Nice work

[WCOLE360]

Nice work

Thanks, it definently needs to be shorter and thinner. But I can't work with the exterior detail blocks with that size, so that's either the last thing I'll do, or I'll ask bobcat to make that decision. Mostly because I can't find the size parameters of it, anywhere.

[hoojiwana]

Each empty MPLM is approximately 21 feet (6.4 m) long, 15 feet (4.6 m) in diameter, weighs 4,400 kilograms (9,700 lb), and can deliver up to nine metric tonnes of cargo to the ISS.

The following are the specifications of the MPLM:[6]

Length – 6.6 m (cylindrical part 4.8 m)

Width – 4.57 m

Mass – 4,082 kg empty; 13,154 kg fully loaded

Habitable volume – 31 m3

Also :

Docking mechanism - Common berthing mechanism

From the Wikipedia page.

So scale that appropriately to KSP.

[OrbitusII]

I think Bobcat wanted 64% real size for the KSP parts, so those specs would be

Length – 4.224 m (cylindrical part 3.072 m)

Width – 2.9248 m

Mass – 1070.0718 kg or 1.0700718 tons empty, 3448.2422 kg, 3.4482422 tons full (use tons for mass in part.cfg)

Habitable volume – 8.1264 m^3

Go ahead and correct my math... I think I may have messed it up a little, at least for the volume.

[WCOLE360]

I DON'T SEE IT ON WIKIPEDIA, HOW IS THIS? Whatever. I think I got it down to that now, pictures when KSP is done being stupid.

While i don't actually have modding experience i have a good (and Stock) soyuz replica anyone can use.

Can be manned or unmanned.

Thanks, but we have bobcat's soyuz. Good job though!

[zekes]

ok just wanted to see if ya needed it!

[Netris]

That's nice, but it's not about make a ISS-ish like with stock parts ^^ Same goes with all the supply stuff. This is pro work here :-D

[WCOLE360]

MPLM Update: Now with minor details! But no texture!

Will expand it partially as well, to make the detail not pop out as much.

[Netris]

That looks very good

[WCOLE360]

Updates are spammed, though it's not really a bad thing!!!

Howdoya like the NASA part, just like the real one!

Though it's not upside down, this obviously means now that I'm looking at it, it goes on the top, not the bottom!

IN UNITY

Big update!

More later, I don't double post.

It looks awesome! Even though you're following the specifications on it's wikipedia page, doesn't it seem a little bit on the skinny side? Like it should be fatter?

[WCOLE360]

I am not working by scale yet, that's last on my to do for this project. I work on the scale I feel comfortable on, then shrink it down to appropriate real life to KSP scale. I hope that I'm not the only one who does this.

That explains it! I also found some specifications to compare it to, from NASA's website. http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/structure/elements/pmm.html

It's not really the scale that seems off, it's the overall ratio of height to width. That is not going to change when you scale it up or down.

[WCOLE360]

Correct. I work on this scale just because of how much easier it is to work with.

[Devo]

Correct. I work on this scale just because of how much easier it is to work with.

The same thing happened with Unity. I followed exact dimensions, scaled down to 64% and still, mine was a little long - so im pretty sure they include the port assembly as part of the over all length

because the only way mine made the length (and exceeded it slightly) was to include the ports in the overall measurement, then scale the entire lot down. You are lucky you don't have port holes, because

they wont stretch out when you change the scale.

I will send you a copy of unity so you can model it to fit.

Wrong geometry. for what "side box" in MPLM ?
