Very nice! Will it have the payload bay with the extendable solar array?

 

[liber]

Thx...I't will be run by spacecraft3,,yes will add paylod bay,about array I can add it...and thinking to set it on Velcro rockets.
Still trying to model front part to curve nose as much is possible to original,can't find good and clear photo side and front to use for modeling.
This on photo above is one of test versions.
And to add photo of X-37B as texture.

Looking Forward to the improved versions. I did a google search and found tons of reference photos, more than 5 meg. I'll get them zipped up and posted on my web site for you to download. COB tuesday if that's OK.

Nice idea! The textures looks good like the space shuttle, not so plastic like most vehicles. I hope you will modell the secret USAF payload too, then i can see what is it :lol: !

Aliens frolicking... Just as I thought

 

[Axel]

:lol: Then the X-37B is a small and fast support shuttle for a secret military base in space, where humans and aliens make love???
Damn i never thought it ! :facepalm:

Did I get you what you needed. I'm willing to scrub for more photos, but I'm not sure what you got from me, and already had was good. Glad you were able to download, some of my friends say they have problems on occasion. Let me know.

I find too lots of photo,your archive have few good for use.
Use only photo with big resolution to have better look in orbiter.
Not so good with photo editing tool so wraping photo out of perspectiv going slow...here is texture test...

 

[Capt_hensley]

Very nice so far, keep up the great work.

 

[emarkay]

Need any Beta testers?

How are you launching it? Got an old Atlas available or is it just "already in orbit"?

It's going to need some real "atmo" modeling, as it's the cross-range darling the Shuttle could have been...

For kicks and giggles, send a bit of info the USAF Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office:

and Boeing:

and see what kind of comments you get.

Little update...

 

[Hlynkacg]

Looks like the color balance on the underside needs to be a little darker but excellent work overall.

 

[Capt_hensley]

Look Great, but I guess the nose tiles are still giving you some trouble.

Yep,I put a black nose cone for now.
