Each module is displayed by itself along with a view of the interior.
The first module is the command center and research station. Most of the technology is contained here for under water *secret* research.
The second module is the turret or weapon module. It is a relatively small module but is designed to be easily replicated. The interior has room for a few soldiers to man the battle stations.
The third module is the drill module. Deep below the surface there are many valuable resources to be harvested for Norkira. The interior shows lights and panels for drilling procedures.
The fourth module is the main housing module. This contains the area for cooking, exercise, but most importantly sleeping. The beds themselves can be viewed from the skylights.
The fifth module is both the generator and the docking station. The small submersible can be seen leaving the port and the generator equipment can be viewed through the window.
The sea creature is a giant squid! Although it has become friendly toward the Nokiran research center, other nations should beware.
Another module, numero 12.
The Island has to be finished by next weekend.
I will not succeed in that but I'll try anyway.
This is the 3rd module (of 6 currently built) that is part of my JunkTown MOC. This is a bit of a Junk Yard
Over the past few days at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, engineers have connected the third European Service Module to the Crew Module Adapter, forming the complete Service Module which will propel Orion towards the Moon and provide oxygen and water for astronauts during the Artemis III mission.
This assembly process involved carefully suspending the Crew Module Adapter while lifting the European Service Module very slowly, stopping regularly to check the alignment using precise laser measurements. The European Service Module is placed on a mobile platform that allows engineers to accurately move the precious module with six degrees of freedom – x, y, z and three rotations – to ensure an exact alignment. Once the modules are ready to be fastened, engineers install 192 screws one by one all around the modules. Some of these fastenings are particularly challenging to reach, requiring special precautions like foil to prevents parts from falling into the module underneath.
Now that the modules are connected, the next steps in the journey to Artemis III include welding operations to connect the systems that will provide breathable air, water and temperature inside the spacecraft and testing that these systems are leak-proof and securely connected. Next year, the Crew Module and solar array wings will be attached to the Service Module, forming the complete Orion spacecraft.

Modules of the BepiColombo spacecraft, which will be on public view during the Sunday 4 October Open Day of ESA’s ESTEC technical centre in the Netherlands.
This is the actual flight hardware, set to begin its seven-year cruise phase to Mercury with the rest of the BepiColombo spacecraft in January 2017.
Europe’s Mercury Planetary Orbiter is seen atop its carrier vehicle, the Mercury Transfer Module, tasked with reaching the vicinity of the innermost planet.
Not seen here is Japan’s Mercury Magnetosphere Orbiter, which will sit on top to complete the BepiColombo ‘stack’.
Japan’s craft will enter a highly elliptical orbit to study the planet’s enigmatically strong magnetic field, while ESA’s will go into an approximately 400 x 1500 km mapping orbit around Mercury.
BepiColombo is currently in ESTEC’s test centre in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, the largest spacecraft testing facility in Europe.
For your chance to see it for yourself, register to come to the ESTEC Open Day.

Megan était installée dans la Cupola quand la caméra 360 ISSexperience, fixée au bout du bras robotique, est venue jeter un œil à l’intérieur. Ça m’a rappelé mon dernier entraînement sous-marin avec la NASA : parfois les poissons sont attirés par la lumière des hublots, souvent la seule source lumineuse environnante. Ça doit être une sorte de divertissement pour eux, un peu comme quand on visite un aquarium, sauf que dans ce cas c’est nous qui sommes à l’intérieur ! 🐟
Megan was in the Cupola when the 360 camera ISSexperience, perched at the end of the robotic arm, decided to come peek inside the ISS. It reminded me of a NASA underwater training mission, when all the fish came at night to look inside our deep sea habitat, which was the only light in the area, so it was entertainment for them: we were the aquarium!! 🐟

The spring-loaded pivoting arm on the bottom of the module is the coupling between the aperture ring and the lollipop in the light meter. A moving finger extends upward from the camera body to engage this arm.
The exposure system is very clever, one of the best EVS implementations that I’ve seen: you center the lollipop on the meter needle by turning the aperture ring, but there is no reference index. You’ve aligned the aperture scale against the shutter speed scale. Then, when you select a shutter speed, the aperture automatically adjusts to the one that corresponds to the speed you’ve selected. Unlike most EVS cameras, it’s simple, quick and intuitive.
The rewind knob is clever too: unlike the screw mount Leicas where you have to pull the knob up for clearance, this one has a helix in the shaft so it comes up by itself as you begin to rewind the film.
I think they put one of their better guys on this project. Too bad they didn’t make a version with a rangefinder, but the meter is in the space that it would have required and I don’t imagine they wanted to make it any bigger. Most users were probably better at guessing distances than light levels.

A few more empty modules to show their variety. The first three are examples of "top" modules that have a landscape or roof built in; nothing is expected to stack onto them obviously. The bottom right is the base of the Tower; for this I wanted extra stability so I built the bottom module full width and part of the base (in the other sections the bottom base separates).

In front of the gothic cathedral,
a strange module appeared.
Adding a touch of color fantasy in the dark reality.
Is it the latest invention of Professor Calculus (from Tintin) ?
Or a new vehicle from the Count of Champignac (from Spirou) ?
But it is a retro-futurist vision coming from the colorful comic books of my childhood invading the grey present.
Sur le parvis de la cathédrale gothique, un étrange module est apparu.
Une touche de couleur acidulée dans la sombre réalité.
Une nouvelle invention du Professeur Tournesol ?
Un nouvel engin du Comte de Champignac ?
C'est en tout cas une bien étrange vision rétro-futuriste, sortie des bd colorées de mon enfance.

This is another simple module/model. To make the leaf module, refer to the diagrams for "Don't Leaf Me Now'. Instead of pleating the bottom 1/3 of the paper, pleat the bottom half and then [in step 3], simply add in a book fold and narrow up the extra layers to form the stem of the leaf. The locking the modules requires unfolding, inserting and then re-folding of the stem. You need to work this out yourself but if you cannot, then just cheat by using a dab of gluey stuff.

Down-Sun photograph of the Lunar Module from the rim of Little West Crater. We can see Neil Armstrong's shadow and the shadow of the Gold camera. This frame gives us a feeling for elevation of the rim. When he took this picture, Neil was clearly standing above the level of the Lunar Module footpads. Note the darkened tracks leading leftward to the EASEP deployment area and rightward to the TV camera.

Sonobe system, 30 papers, base module my design...
You can find the diagrams for this model here: Page 1 - Page 2 - Page 3
And a 3D render of a single module here: Sonobe petal module
Assembly instructions: right here.
I have been building small houses to get an Idea of how the town layout will connect to the Islands' geography.
As expected modifications are needed.
There's actually nothing left of the old
Module 19. I basically just built a new one.
The base needed to be a lot higher (around 8 bricks high now). Also the Islands' smooth coastline will evolve into a rough one with more reliëf and capes.
