@Urwumpe Now that I am at home and looking at those sprint/spartan launch site pics on a bigger screen then my cell phone. It almost seems like I should model both Sprint and Spartan missile also. It does not seem right to model one and not the other :hmm:
Well for now I am going to use the K.I.S.S. rule for the time being. There is so much I want to do the more I think about it. Trying to stay focused and back to modeling I go

So I am looking at those pics and trying to find the best one for visual reference
This must be during construction phase. Notice the Manway covers on top of the silo dome as well as the shackle anchor points used in conjunction with a steel cable or nylon "choker" to lower the lid/dome into place. Now in this next pic and more recent after constuction the manways are gone off the silo lid/dome as well as the anchor "Shackle" points are gone also.
So in keeping with the realism and current tech I will go with the second photo. Kinda disappointing though IMO. Those covers with the little rivets and bolts would of added to the detail of the model but at same time would of increased the file size of the model as well. But it is what it is. So getting back to the model.

Well I managed to get some work done. Not as much as I would of liked but its progress I guess. I really dont have alot of dimensions to go by. I am trying to judge it as close as I can. If you guys see anything that might be a little off please tell me. Not sure how far down or where the hatches or manways lead under the ground. I think a little video would explain and describe it better.
