Sure! You are right, somewhat, but from my research (mostly google images) the rover panel (back right) and the opposite to the rover panel, the back left, are black, although it seems to vary pretty greatly with different images. I do have both those sections black, however i conveniently forgot to show them in the pictures :/ I still need to do some touch ups, will probably be released tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be very interested to see my LEM next to yours! That fact that the lander felt smaller than it is, is testament to the quality of your build. The scale is really surprising! I still think a few less parts would be helpful though! I look forward to seeing the rover man! Edited February 18, 2016 by Majorjim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Rocket Scientist Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 It looks like the black panels are graphite, designed to dissipate the heat from the RCS system. If you look at this image: You can see that the ascent module's RCS system is directly above the black stuff. You can also see it in LMs from apollo 11 onwards, on the landing pads, but only facing towards the engine: In this pic (from 1976, of a KSC installation, with flight hardware), you can see the blast deflectors again: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha yea, that is why I am going to wait until 1.1 for developing the Saturn V part Honestly I could easily probably take out 100 parts, by i think those little science things look a lot better than fuel ducts, and hey, the build is designed to be about all out accuracy, and part count is kinda a secondary thought 3 minutes ago, Mad Rocket Scientist said: It looks like the black panels are graphite, designed to dissipate the heat from the RCS system.

I think they where added last minute on the Apollo 11 LEM. They had an unintended effect on the LEMs radio too. You can that in the video of the landing below, its awesome you can even see the boulder field they had to avoid!

Rune Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Hum. I've got a question, @Bubbadevlin. What exactly did you use for the cabin's drum? The rest of the things, I can short of figure out, but I can't remember any 2.5m diameter stock part that has such a smooth texture. Rune. The part count is a bit scary for my tastes, but you can't deny the resemblance. Edited February 18, 2016 by Rune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you made a faring with such a sharp corner, it would round out the edge and make an unsightly bulge... Rune. It has me scratching my head more than the legs did!

I love the scale of it but for Kerbals the scale is too large. 55 minutes ago, PhylumCnidaria said: IT'S KSP I SWEAR! The mist! How does one have mist?

The part count is a bit scary for my tastes, but you can't deny the resemblance. It is actually a fairing, however a very clipped one. I did this because 2.5m parts are too big, and 1m parts are too small. It is also not actually that sharp of a corner, The "cone" of the fairing is just hard to see behind the other things.

SaturnianBlue Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I finished the bridge as well the bottom part of the tower above it, and i'm almost done with the things in the back. Next is to finish the back and the tower, then I need to build the mast and add some secondary guns, and fill in some holes... I'll admit, with this kind of part count, if I ever recreate the Battle Of The Denmark Strait, I WILL have to weld a bunch of parts, or will end up with thousands of parts...

Castille7 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I was in a shopping mall and saw a S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier in a Lego demo and thought it looked pretty cool so I took a picture of it and when I got home I started working on it and haven't went back to it yet.
