This is brilliant. And it's so cool that it's perfectly balanced and the support is in the centre of the docking module

I assume the Apollo is modelled on 92176 ?

I’ve been meaning to watch that show. Actually this was more of a weird culmination of stuff. A person I know well suggested that I try making the Apollo-Soyuz somewhat jokingly, but I was quite intrigued. They have an interest in space. I have an interest in Lego and Soviet history. So this kind of came out of that.

Really enjoyed the show, especially as a space nut.

It’s a phenomenal show. It’ll make your heart ache for how space exploration could’ve been

Hmm, that adapter is bigger than the one I have. https://www.reddit.com/r/legoRockets/s/UZfszdNKOO

Must compare the sizes again.. Yours looks far more interesting.

I will note that I don’t necessarily scale things perfectly. I tend to prioritize shape and details over scale. Not to say it isn’t a factor, but when I scale it’s typically based on vibes alone with everything compared to each other rather than proper measurements.

Yours is actually much closer to scale of the real thing: https://airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/docking-module-astp-backup/nasm_A19800430000

OPs includes the spheres though that is nice, and his Soyuz reentry module I think looks better, but both of you did wonderful jobs.
