After designing parts for the 1/32 Monogram model, I decided to create a complete 1/32 CSM, the reason being that the Monogram model suffers a number of flaws, particularly on the dimensions of the Command Module. This new model tries to correct these flows. Furthermore the Command Module is offered in various configurations such as during flight or after splashdown, closed or cutaway versions.

Various part are offered on Shapeways in 1/32 and 1/16 scales. You just have to click on the rendering image to find the proper part. If you have a printer you also have the possibility to download the files on Cult3D, the scale is 1/32 but of course you can rescale the files as you wish to create your model. For large scale you can use a FDM printer but I strongly suggest (at least for 1/32) to use a resin printer as all the details will be completely visible.

You can refer to this web site for building this model or download the instruction booklets

Various patterns needed for the Command Module build are available here (click on the images, the links are also mentioned in the explanation of the build herebelow) :
