Hi,ive started these recently,and now they are back in the news,this week,with some new contracts etc,anyway martins models,does 4 versions at the moment,but he has just made some larger payload shrouds,to go with the new specs,so he might be bringing some more versions out?,the more the better i say,bring em on?
Anyway,ive started the four versions which were first,planned,theres the block o crew version,with orion capsule,Then the block o cargo version,with just a small diam payload bay,The block o have just the normal stage srb,s from the shuttle programme,
Then there,s the block 1 cargo,with longer core tank/stage and a larger payload capacity.then there,s the block 1 crew,version with a upper stage,section and orion capsule and command section.T he block 1 vession,s have four engines,though the arrangement isnt confirmed yet,and the s.r.b,s have 5 sections,so are longer,And ive done these ones as white,but no doubt,once rolled out,they will revert to the nasty orange,foam colour of the shuttle,to save money,and weight?.
heres some pics of the whole lot,i,ll do individual builds of each varient as i go along,so here,s a taster.lol...
block1 cargo,
block 1 cargo and block 1 crew
block 1 cargo engine section,not fitted yet
block1 crew
so i,ll post builds for each one,it will be easier that way,

thanks for looking, cheers Don
