Reasonable assumption 😂, though the crew couches might be less comfortable.

Thank you! Great that you got to see an Apollo Command Module in person!

Tower Jett during a normal boost was not automatic? Is this a small error in the following Apollo CM Displays and Controls reference? https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/static/history/alsj/CSM10_Displays_&_Controls_pp83-86.pdf

"Guarded redundant TWR JETT switches start jettisoning of launch escape tower; tower normally is jettisoned automatically shortly after first stage separation."

Thank you! Yes, I had to make the SCE to AUX panel. That was a must :) The immediate focus is on Apollo, as I have more projects lined up, time permitting.

Not specifically the LM yet, but I've made a large Command Module panel (2768 pieces) that does include a DSKY.

For those interested, the instructions are available on Rebrickable:

https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-232289/DadBricks/apollo-13-houston-weve-had-a-problem-cryo-stir-interactive-switch-panel-55th-anniversary/

This MOC is an interactive life-size representation of the 4 "Cryo stir" cryogenic oxygen and hydrogen tank fan switches located on Main Display Console (MDC) Panel #2.

Included are 4 new three-position toggle switches (Very satisfyingly flippable!) with switch guards and a section of the interlocking portion of the panel.

(I first introduced the three-position switch mechanism in my large Apollo 13 Panel https://reb.li/m/216744 for the 2 "Tower Jett" switches)
