1/25 International Space Station model
Posted by astrosun on Thursday, September 3, 2009 2:55 PM
As a result of placing the Kibo Exposed Facility Payloads (Exposed Facility) earlier, I have also added this module also to our model of the ISS!
Please take a look at a small page on how I made this module.
The model is made for the AstroLab public observatory near Ieper, Belgium.

Today I finishd the first large solar array of the ISS!
One Solar Array contain two solar panels of 130x19cm.  8 Arrays or 16 solar panels are needed in the maquette.

What a terrific piece of work!
For materials, it looks like you're using, woods, wire, styrofoam and styrene. Is that right? Anything else?
How long have you been building this ISS ... roughly, how many hours?

And how will you support these HUGE solar arrays to prevent sagging? Or will everything just be hung from the ceiling and supported by those wires?

It looks GREAT! Keep on posting these pix!

Thanx
