Bremen, Germany. Orion's European Service Module is loaded on the Antonov airplane for transport to Kennedy Space Center.
For the first time, NASA will use a European-built system as a critical element to power an American spacecraft, extending the international cooperation of the International Space Station into deep space. The European Service Module is a unique collaboration across space agencies and industry including ESA’s prime contractor, Airbus, and 10 European countries. The completion of service module work in Europe and shipment to Kennedy signifies a major milestone toward NASA’s human deep space exploration missions to the Moon and beyond.

This is another very easy module which I am sure other folders have already discovered. The Module is simply a Preliminary Base with 2 opposite corners folded in to the centre. 8 modules are joined with simple folds to form a ring of triangles. 7.5cm squares of Wood Grain patterned papers and Kami are used to fold the modules. Diagrams later.

N scale town module -- various kits
Background
There is quite a tale about this module. This module was completed in 2006 while I was staying temporary at my parents. It was done just in time for Christmas as a static holiday display (imagine the guests going gaga over it). It was before the age of facebook and flickr which explains why I've never bothered to take pictures then. For the next 5 years this module sat under dust cover (garbage bags to be precise) as I moved to my own house. It has been in the supposèd hobby room since.
I haven't taken it out to display or played with it until now that I have restored some ordered to my hobby room -- which you'd see as the unadorned backdrop in these photos. With some minor rearranging and fixing of the disturbances from the move, you are now seeing this module for the first time in 5 years after it was first displayed to an invitation-only crowd.
Not the Full Story
Believe it or not this series of photos doesn't tell the full story. For nearly the entire length of this module there is an underground station underneath the town complete with platforms and four electrified tracks -- by that I mean live catenary. This is accessible from the back of this module. Altogether six tracks passes through this module.
Moreover, I have installed lights for the buildings and this module does light up. Unfortunately my ignorance with electricity means that I've taken out too many bulbs. This drastically decreased the life of the Christmas lights. Eventually I'll have to take the lights out for replacement. *yikes*
Why Winter?
Like most modules this was built on top of styrofoam blocks. I didn't intend this to be a winter module when I started out. But as I was running out of time to finish, the quickest way to hide blemishes was simply dusting the whole thing with "snow". This turned out perfect for a winter holiday scene.
It's gonna be a nightmare to remove the snow and plaster should I decide to change it back to a summer scene.
The Orion crew and service module stack for Artemis I was lifted out of the Final Assembly and Test (FAST) cell on Monday, November 11. The spacecraft has been stationed in the FAST cell since July 2019 for mating and closeout processing.
The service module and crew module were moved separately into the cell, stacked and connected together for the mission.
After lifting out of the cell, Orion will be attached to a tool called a verticator that rotates the stack from its vertical configuration to a horizontal configuration for transport to NASA’s Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio, USA, where it will undergo full environmental testing to certify the complete vehicle for flight.
Once the vehicle returns to NASA's Kennedy Space Centre it will return to the FAST cell for installation of final panels left off for environmental testing purposes and the service module’s four solar arrays.

There is one play upon words with the fire in the "Étienne Brûlé" brewery.
The employees occupied to drink on the roof forgot to check the manometers and valve which consequently started a fire. They are too drunk to realize that the fire is under their feet.
The second brewery is located in the old CN roundhouse in Toronto. Every evening, there is a cocktail with beer tasting.
The third one is from Belgium with a portable alambic for distillation of prunes, cherries and other fruits.
This module is one of the corners of my modular layout
Enjoy,

The robust and powerful Power Rotary Tool - PRT is designed for cutting challenging fibrous materials inexpensively and reliably.
All the modules for the new setup 2009 to capture insects in flight are now ready. Just a few software adjusts now.
The Orion Crew Module Uprighting System (CMUS) and Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory team completed two successful sea tests off the coast of Galveston, Texas, Dec. 1-3. CMUS is designed to inflate five bags after the Orion spacecraft and its crew splash down after returning from deep space missions, enabling the capsule to upright itself. NASA partnered with United States Coast Guard and Air Force and Texas A&M Galveston teams to perform the tests operations.
