ISS Build - Finished !

The sixth and final parts bag(s) of the International Space Station focuses entirely on construction of the solar panel arrays.

For me, this represented the least difficult part of the project because it resulted in eight identical components.

By laying everything out and building assembly-line style, the job was done in less than half an hour.

The final step called for merely snapping the panel sections in place on the model.

All in all, the ISS is a very detailed and impressive model.

It now resides proudly in the display cabinet right next to the Apollo Saturn V.

Today's post covers the remainder of the highly detailed main structure of the International Space Station.

Once completed, the craft is now fitted with the end sections of the truss that will hold the solar panel arrays in place. 
Also, now are attached the various radiator panels and the Canadarm2.
A very fun and satisfying build, indeed!
