Default Winter Build - 1/100 Space Shuttle

Time to show off what I did with the latest cones from Sandman. It's not paint ready yet, but it's all test fit.

Some rings and skirts.


SRB motor mounts. Canted. I may not use them - but I'm hopeful.


SRB aft skirts. I've since bent the hooks more so they sit flat.


SRBs. -There's- some of Gordon's fine work.


And there's the rest. I'm building to be able to separate the SRBs. Rail guide on the SRBs, with a bottom rail made from the packaging from the coffee pods at the day job. Upper connection is a small brass tube that fits in the screw hole for the rail guide. I'll mount a sring on the SRB (not the one pictured) and run monofilament through the ET to tie the SRBs to the ET. To separate, a flight computoer will fire a wire or ignitor to cut the monofilament, and the springs will push the SRBs off the brass tube. Drag will take them from there.
