Dragonfly shuttle from “Once Upon a Time… Space”

Dragonfly ( Libellule ) shuttle from “Once Upon a Time… Space ( Il était une fois… l'Espace )” 3D model of this nice spacecraft design, straight out of the early 80's. For size reference I used images from the series. They are not completely consistent, so I derived scale from the lateral door visible in some episodes and from the large cockpit. This means that the spacecraft is about 110 meters in length. I changed the underside to depict a heat shield. It would be nonsense not to have it, since the craft is meant for atmospheric reentry and fight, even is a fantasy context.   Hummingbird from 4throckrn on Sketchfab .

Grumman LEM cockpit II

Working :-)

Grumman LEM cockpit

I'm modeling a simple retro styled cockpit for the Lunar Excursion Module. It's based on Gemini technology, with some allowances for Orbiter's MFDs. It's not historical or based on any actual proposal. The pilot will have the two MFD screens in the panel immediately in front of him, and some (I hope) working indicators on the middle panel (fuel, thrust, altitude, speed, ADI ball, etc). On the right side I'll simply put some switches and generic indicators, just for show.
