Ever wondered how to celebrate X-Mas up there?

We are well bejond the 3000 votes (3268 as of today). The mission is simple: 10 000 votes! 
Therefore I herewith proudly announce the launch of the XCLD-Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/XCLDesign

"Internet do your thing!" (LeFloid)

"Share and enjoy!" (Sirius Cybernetics Corporation)

I've been asked a lot, what to do with such a huge and fragile model in "real life". Most of us do not have any microgravity at home. I still wonder why...

There are basically two solutions: Hang it from the ceiling or stand it onto something.
What would you prefere?

THANKS SO MUCH NASA!

Here are some brandnew pictures from the station. I did some colouring of the various solar arrays, which was not so easy to decide on, since they always look different depending on the light...

In the picture just grappled. In reality docked already!

August 12th the last in the series of five automated transfer vehicles docked at the ISS. Of course I did not want you to miss this historic event beeing LEGOnised!
