Has anyone flown the Outlander yet?

well I really have no patterns for the raised panels.
I made a shroud in VCP using the capsule dimensions so I wound up with a shroud that fit exactly over the capsule. I then made a couple copies of the shroud and started drawing out shapes (just eyeballed it). Once I had a the patterns cut out of the shroud I transferred them to thin sheet styrene, cut em out and glued right to the capsule.
I may have some of the patterns left, I'll check in my files tonight. If I have them yet, I will scan them and post them.

I really like those raised panels! You have inspired me to build mine in a similar manner - think of it as a tribute to your creativity
From the pictures, it looks like the lander was stamped out like that from the factory. (That's a compliment, by the way ) The edges of the panels - did you bevel or shape them in any particular way? I don't have any styrene handy - any suggestions as to what else might work?
Thanks.
