Rod The Fixer Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Hi mates, And just to do something new ... I decided to launch myself into the construction of the first Chinese space station TianGong-1 and the Shenzhou-8 module. Tiangong-1 ( literally: 'Heavenly Palace 1" or "Celestial Palace 1') was China's first prototype space station. It orbited Earth from September 2011 to April 2018, serving as both a manned laboratory and an experimental testbed to demonstrate orbital rendezvous and docking capabilities during its two years of active operational life.

GordonD Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Nice work so far! I built this model several years ago; I also have the Chang Zheng 2F launch vehicle to the same scale in my stash (a huge model, around 130 cm tall) which if I ever get round to building it would make an impressive delay alongside the spacecraft itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
