This is the 3rd module (of 6 currently built) that is part of my JunkTown MOC. This is a bit of a Junk Yard
Voskhod 1 descent module, 1964
The three cosmonauts' couches inside Voskhod were only fitted with difficulty, making the crew crane their necks to see the instrument panels. With no space for a means of escape to be fitted, a retrorocket slowed the spacecraft as it returned to Earth, enabling the cosmnauts to remain on board for the entire mission.

The day started sunny and calm, but by the time I had done my chores it was cloudy and windy so didn't go on my planned excursion to a waterfall.
Decided to have my first go at Camera School Module 3 indoors. As it was cloudy outside, it was even darker inside and it was impossible to get the degree of blurred water, yet showing a sense of movement, with the recommended CS settings. I found around 1/15-1/30 portrayed this best, but to achieve this a high ISO, coupled with a small F number was required. Another difficulty I had was with the large dynamic range between the dark sink/tiles, and the bright water and the need for a reflector which lightened the darker bits, but also blew the highlights. An ND filter was not required in these dull conditions.
I won't therefore be using any of these shots for homework, but put them up as my first venture into this module. On a bright day this setup might work and I might give it another go.
The "Y Module" was created in 1988 and published in "Modular Origami" a self-publication. The module, folded from square papers is based on the 60 degree geometry. When assembled, a "Y" band is form on the triangular faces of the model and a small pinwheel motif on all the corners.
3 of the 5 Platonic Solids can be assembled from this module. They are the Tetrahedron, the Octahedron and the Icosahedron. All of these polyhedra have triangular faces.
12 Modules, folded from 15cm square Kami are used to assemble the Octahedron.
A session this evening with my Module 2 portrait model Vanessa. This time I have her running. I did deliberately take some street scene shots. Is this bad? I don't know. People do run in places other than with clean backgrounds. Would I be brave enough to submit it though? Again I don't know. I feel a deadline looming and I'm not sure what I'm doing yet. My dog shots were rubbish (didn't bother to upload), and my horse shots never happened as the horse went lame.
The rest of my photos from this session can be found here if you have the time to look
My final attempt at this module. I remembered that we had some childrens' skittles and after a few experiments managed to get the timing and settings right.
success! I ran out of time to solder it up but it came out as good as I can hope for. No noticeable 'erosion' of traces. Alignment between the two sides is good enough. This could be close to my final layout. I'm excited!

Le Corbusier described it as a "range of harmonious measurements to suit the human scale, universally applicable to architecture and to mechanical things."

Carried Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins to the Moon and back during their historic Apollo 11 voyage in July 1969.
Second Lunar Module built. Was not designed to make the trip to the Moon or support astronauts but for an unmanned Earth orbital test.

Think you could land this on the moon? This is a mockup of the lunar module that landed on the moon between 1969–1972. it carried two people. 6 landings on the moon were made.

The Zeplina Power Module was created to power the worlds largest zeppelin, this piece was destined for stardom as an epic event in history. However, its extreme weight and the fact it was mounted at the front of the zeppelin meant that the nose couldn't get of the ground, even with the excessive amount of power it produced. The zeppelin cruised along, bum in the air, nose to the ground like a dog sniffing out the trail of dragged sausages. The zeppelin company refused to pay for the item, so I turned it into a lamp and this (almost) piece of history is for sale!
