There was a wish, and a query, from a new member, Jerry "Okiestarman", for a 1:24 scale version of the magnificent model by UHU02 of the Apollo 13 LM7 lunar landing module. After a bit of discussion in his original thread, the project was deemed extraordinarily difficult, due to the complexity of the model. The recommendation of seasoned members was to go to a printer and negotiate the printing of the 21 pages in A2 format (which equals a doubling of the original 1/48 scale).
This may still be the best option. However, for those with just an ordinary desktop inkjet printer, plus a willingness to cut some 80 sheets of paper to minimum 210 x 420 mm size, I did prepare a kit in 1/24 scale. The inofficial cover looks like this:
If you read the text, you'll pretty much get the hang of it. This is the format of the kit, and you will have to follow the paper-cutting instructions if you wish to make use of it.
A quick look at a couple of typical pages will give you an impression of the kit:
Attachment 243587 Attachment 243588 Attachment 243589 Attachment 243590
By the page numbers you can see that this is a humongous kit - 80 part pages in this large format. Each new part page has the original page number within parentheses, so that you can easily refer to the original pages.
Included in this package is a straight Google-translated version of UHU02's original instructions. They are absolutely necessary, I believe, for a successful build. I've collected the instruction files on the original site in a common pdf of more than 260 pages, so you will likely not want to print it, but view it on your screen instead. The translated instructions are unedited, so you will have to suffer some translation oddities, but that's par for the course and better than me trying to make out the original meaning...
A further advantage of reading these instructions on the screen is that if you click on any one image in this instructions file (and there are many!) you will get directly to the enlarged original version for a detailed study (provided you are online).
Since this is just an unofficial private undertaking, I cannot post it as yet in the downloads section (pending permission from UHU02). However, as far as I understand it, there's nothing preventing me from sharing such a private undertaking as this with a friend. And I would dearly like this work to be stored someplace else, in addition to my private server space.
So, if there's someone among you who has server space available to store a package of 165 MB and are willing to become additional keepers of this magnificent free model, please get in touch. (If I'm swamped by requests, I'll just choose among the first takers with web space available, until such a time as I can make this version freely available with official approval.)
