Hello everyone, Ive been working on this project off and on for about a month now. All together to get this far I think it took about 20 hours of work. Everything on this orbiter is to scale when 1 stud:1 foot and 3 plates : 15 inches. As you can see it is still missing a lot, including the cargo bay and most of the wings. But most of the main structure is here.

Pictures:

Front view.

Back view. (A nice shot of the engines)

On the mid-deck. (Not much here yet)

Constructive Criticism is aloud.

EDIT: I will be making the ENTIRE space shuttle vehicle in the upright position, along with Launch Complex 39 A. Scroll down to see progress pictures

I don't know why, but that tail fin looks too pixil-arty. Other than that it looks nice.

Excellent work! Scale is good and design is almost perfect. Just the rudder/tail fin needs fixing.

9/10

In the picture the tail looks weird, but I assure you in-game it looks perfect.

If you'd like a challenge do another one facing up, same scale C:

I have actually been thinking about doing that, with an included launch pad.

fasf i hate breaking up posts this much

Have you tried adding handles yet? Real space shuttles have handles everywhere, to facilitate easier movement in freefall.

NASAboy3000 · March 22, 2012, 07:46:33 PM

Most handles would be in the cargo bay which I haven't gotten to yet.

I love it.

The building style and complete lack of ramps appeases me greatly, looks like it actually fits in.
One of the few good builds I've seen in a while, good work

Gah, how annoying was it to build the tip?

Very good job.

I'm going to bump this, as I will be working on it over the weekend. If anyone wants to see it in-game look for my server tomarrow.

Worked on this a bit in SP, might start a server if you guys reply. I also might start on the upright one.

Top down Picture.

EDIT: Server is up!

Alright people, I have decided to make the entire shuttle upright, along with Launch Complex 39 A.

Here are some pictures of what I have accomplished so far:

If anyone wants to see this in-game, I will be hosting probably all day.
