Part 1: Unity
Model Design: R. Fortezza
Assembly Drawings: G. De Chiara
NOTE:
This Model is a test version. It was built from scratch on the basis of photos published by NASA.
Please notify Raimondo Fortezza any error or discrepancy you could find during the assembly.
The e-mail address is: fortezza@marscenter.it
Detailed pictures are available at NASA WEB site at: station.nasa.gov. Please check these imag-
es before the assembly to control the correct positioning of each part.
The modifications will be implemented according to your suggestions. Please notify them via e-
mail. You will be kept informed when the updated version will be made available.
This model is free ware, and the idea is to develop the model 1:100 of the entire ISS.
If you want to support the initiative please send 10 US $, or even more if you like, to the
developer. Your name will be posted in the Supporter List published on the Paper-ISS page at
MARS WEB site and you can download all the updated version of the ISS with the new Modules
that will be launched up to the end of the year 2000.
Quality printed model is available based on uncompressed files and 1440 dpi ink-jet printer. The
cost is US $ 25 or an equivalent value in your currency. Send the money directly via mail to the
address indicated at page 9. The model is shipped using ordinary post service. If you want
express courier please send an e-mail for a quotation.
Unity Assembling Guide
Cut out and bend the parts following the line. For best results use a sharp hobby knife and a
metal straight edge. For some parts a pair of small scissors is better. Glue together the parts
using a thin, even coat of ordinary white glue. Print the sheets on a color printer. The format
should be compatible with both A-4 or US Letter sheet size. I used an EPSON 750 Color ink-Jet
Printer with a resolution of 1440 dpi with excellent results.
Unity parts are printed on two separate sheets. The first one should be printed on glossy paper
(available for any ink-jet printer). The numbered parts belonging to this sheet are identified by
the letter G followed by the part number.
The second sheet should be printed on cardboard paper (or Photo Paper) and its parts are identi-
fied by the label P
Cut the G-1 part and remove
carefully with a sharp razor or
small scissors the four door
holes (remove the circles
labeled with C)
Roll the G-1 part on a table
edge and, once the shape is
similar to a cylinder, glue the
tab and form the Unity body.
To improve the model accuracy you can decide to cut the gluing tabs from any cylindri-
cal part and make a new separate one to eliminate the gap formed when a single part is
rolled and glued on itself. See the following sketch to understand the modification.

Cut the four hatches P-30, P-31, P-32 and
P-33 and the eight G-6 parts. Glue two G-6
parts on each door. As a first step roll each
G-6 part to form a half-circle. The painted
part should be directed in the concavity.
The G-6 tabs should be inserted between
the gluing tab of the P parts. The two tabs
located at 12 and 6 o'clock of the P parts
should be placed between the G-6 parts.
Glue the four gluing tabs of each G-6
part under the P parts (hatches)
Bend the three gluing tabs of the P parts at 90° and
glue them on the G-6 back side. Once the glue is dry,
bend the residual part of the tabs again to have
them oriented flat
As orientation of the model we decided to consider
the hatch located near the part marked with (5) as
the upper side of Unity. Prepare the four hatches.
The P-33 is the upper hatch. P-30 and P-31 are locat-
ed respectively of port and starboard. P-32 is the
lower hatch.
Each hatch has to be glued to the
Unity body with the short tab ori-
ented toward the closest edge. See
the figures on the left side.

Insert the P-29 inside the Unity Body. The
tabs have to be oriented alternatively on the
two sides of the sheet. The glue has to be
applied inside the body forming a ring close
to the hatch tabs (near the center-line). This
disc is used to reinforce the Unity structure.
Check the disc dimension before the applica-
tion of the glue.
Cut the PMA - Pressurized Mating Adapter (Parts G-
12 and G-14). The G-12 is the forward one. Bend
carefully each part to form an octagon (use a metal
straight edge to bend each panel). Glue the white tab
to form an octagonal prism.
Bend the yellow tabs at 90 degrees ad glue
them to P-34 and P-35.
Cut G-11 and G-13. Roll them and glue the white tabs to
form small cylinders. G-11 has to be attached to G-12. G-13
has to be attached to G-14. Rotate the cylinders until the
harness is aligned. Glue the cylinders to the PMA's sticking
the PMA black tabs inside the inner side of the cylinder
using a pencil

Prepare the PMA Mating Ring.
Cut G-15, G-16, G-17, G-18. Glue
G-16 on G-15 and G-18 on G-17.
Leave 6 mm (the tab length) with-
out glue on the side opposite to the
tab.
Roll the coupled pieces to form a cylinder. The
tab has to be glued inside the internal and exter-
nal wall.
Cut the two P-36 hatches. Insert the hatch
inside the Mating Ring and glue its tabs under
the disc.
Cut parts G-8, G-9, G-21 and G-22. Roll G-8
and G-9 to form the Unity end cones. G-21 and
G-22 should form two rings. Glue G-21 with
end-cone G-8. G-21 has a small target to be
glued as depicted in the small sketch. For the
correct orientation of hatch, forward PMA,
ring and Unity end cone see the picture in the
next page.
