AXM Paper Space Scale Models

This is a site owned by a great friend of mine, Mr. Alfonso X. Moreno.

Its still in construction, but there some models that are available.

This is his STS card model project

His project aims to have a modeler an opportunity to build a SPECIFIC Shuttle mission, meaning, you can build an orbiter in its specific configuration during that mission, as well as the ET & SRBs, since they change some exterior details during (almost) each  every mission.

And also, what's the shuttle without its payload? Also included in his project are the different payloads & cargo bay configs during each and every mission that the shuttle has flown since STS-1 (including some top secret missions, based on de-classified information)

 Oh and they are all for FREE (except for the payloads, which is payware, but in a very low price though)

To those scale modelers who has a shuttle in the build list, please take a visit, it will prove to be a valuable one for sure

Wow!!  Could you find out if your friend would mind me adding a link from my site to his?  I run an online census of 1/144 kits in any media and I'd really like to add a link to his site and add them to the listings.  If you want more info, you can get in touch with me off board.  A link to my site is in my sig. if you'd like a look.

cdw My life flashes before my eyes and it mostly my life flashing before my eyes!!!Big Smile The 1/144 scale census and message board: http://144scalelist.freewebpage.org/index.html

Oh, he would really appreciate it if you can add a link to his site from yours!!!

 All of us at cardmodels.ne forums are promoting his site and his works.

 In our opinion, his site has the best documentation of the Shuttle's modifications in detail, both in pictures and card models.

 Just drop him an e-mail, he would really appreciate it!!!

Hey guys, its been years since sir Alfonso's site was established... but now, it has grown more than just an STS card model site!!!

All 5 orbiters and some of the test orbiters have been modified to include better details, and the SRB connections were added to improve detail

there will be a new, more detailed, and bigger version of the shuttle later...

Besides the free orbiter models, ET and SRBs, new free models have been added

The Crawler Transporter (both in Apollo and STS configurations) and the MLP (STS configuration, its still missing the SRB hole pipes, but will be added later), again all for free!!!


The payware (and freeware) payload bay parts are now being released one by one

here are the available mission payloads (ISS related missions excluded in list)

payware: (the payload bay parts are available at $ 4.50 each)

STS-50
STS-90
STS-95

freeware:

STS-1
STS-6
STS-41D
STS-51J
STS-51L
STS-26
STS-49
STS-107

As of now, not much pre-ISS mission payloads are being designed, because he is focused right now on, you guessed it, the ISS!!!

His model of the space station is available at 2 scales, 1/144, and the much bigger 1/100. The Russian modules are still in-progress, because he's currently designing the ITS parts

The ISS model will also be payware except for some that's already made as freeware, same cost as a non-ISS mission payload bay file, but unlike the non-ISS files, the payload bay parts include:

- the payload bay configuration of the modules/components
- the space station configuration of teh same modules/components
- the 1/100 scale version of the ISS configuration version of the modules/components

here are the available missions from his website:

payware:

STS-88 (Node 1~Unity, PMA 1,2)
STS-92 (Z-1, PMA 3)
STS-97 (P-6)
STS-98 (US Lab~Destiny)
STS-102 (MPLM Leonardo, ESP-1)
STS-100 (SSRMS~Canadarm2 (fully articulating), MPLM Rafaello)
STS-104 (US Airlock~Quest)
STS-105 (MPLM Leonardo, EAS tank)
STS-110 (S-0, MT)
STS-111 (MBS, MPLM Leonardo)
*STS-112 (S-1)
*STS-113 (P-1)
STS-122 (Columbus Orbital Facility)
STS-123 (SPDM~Dextre (fully articulating~1/100 scale only), JEM ELM PS)

*STS-112-113 are included in a single file, since the trusses are almost identical (with detail variations in some places), and is priced at $5.50 for both mission payload models

freeware:

STS-114 (ESP-2, MPLM Rafaello)
STS-121 (MPLM Leonardo, ORUs)
STS-120 (Node 2~Harmony)
STS-124 (JEM, JEM RMS(fully articulating))
STS-126 (MPLM Leonardo)

also for free - ESP-2 ORU configurations and current appearances of the MPLMs

The entire Russian section (Zarya, Zvezda, Pirs, Soyuz and Progress) will be released later since they are still in the design stage, as well as the other resupply missions and much of the remaining ITS sections (with the S/P-3/4 trusses now on trial assembly by sir Alfonso, and will be the next one to be released


aside from the ISS, he will also release the ff in the future:

Mir Space Station (1/144 and 1/100 scales)
STS Pegasus barge
SLC-6 launch site
the test orbiter Explorer
Soyuz Launch Pad
Buran-Energia-Transporter
Shuttle Carrier Aircraft

 


He had made extensive research for every single component, and he needs all the help he can get. Please let us support this outstanding project!!!

STS-119 finally flew, and for that, sir Alfonso Moreno released his replica for the mission!

you can get it from the website on the first post (just like everything else in his models and references)

Hello Hans

The photos really do the models justice. Amazing to think this is from paper as well! 

Looking forward to Buran and the 747 carrier aircraft
