On Feb 2, 2020 we were invited at a Superbowl Party. There I met a guy, Reid Wiseman, who happened to be an astronaut and who had spent six months aboard the International Space Station (ISS). We had a long conversation and I got the idea of building a replica of the ISS at 1/48 scale, to be added to my 80ish replica's of my Air & Space Museum. I already had a 3d-printer but did not have the files to create the model. After some research, I found a model at 1/100 scale. Multiplying everything by 2.08 would give what I wanted. I started June 1, 2020.
