I still would like to do it one week, but it doesn't necessarily have to be next week. Are we doing another vote or is there a queue for maintainers?

What kind of a wimpy armament is that? You ought to have at least one 105mm Howitzer on a plane like that!

What's the thrust level and ISP on the verniers?

Did you make the Soyuz and Salyut in the last picture in the spoiler tag? It looks beautiful! The shuttle itself is also amazing, I will have to give it a try.

Still not even 2:00pm here. That means I get to endure 90+ degree heat for the next six hours. That's Fahrenheit, not Celsius, mind you. U S A!! U S A!!

http://youtu.be/WChTqYlDjtI Oh well, I never flew it anyway.

Does anyone remember the munar orbit station I started a month or two ago? Well I found out yesterday that I still had it, so I finally sent up the first crew. BTK-3 launches on a Zenit rocket for the Salyut M-1 station. Bill, Bob, and Valentina are all squeezed inside the Command Module for a two day trip. One relatively uneventful launch later, BTK and the Zenit upper stage are in parking orbit, preparing to perform TMI. Later missions will use a more powerful upper stage to save maneuvering fuel in the spacecraft. Here, have a free desktop background! And another. BTK in munar orbit, just before beginning the rendezvous with the station. Thanks to all the docking lights I put on the station, a night docking was possible. Also, I did the the whole thing with MechJeb... Please don't hurt me. Here's the station's current layout: Core Module on left, Cargo Logistics Module in the middle, and BTK-3 docked on the right. The next move is to get another docking adapter up here so more APAS equipped spacecraft can dock with the station, and then get the Solar Truss installed.

A little side project while I wait for CommanderSpock to iron out the problems with the Mark IV Tank: A Type VIIB U-Boat in the works. I still have to build the side fuel tanks, fill in the interior, and test the thing. I doubt I'll be able to put torpedoes in it, so I'm using structural intakes as a substitute. Side profile view. It may need to be a little bit longer, and possibly have a larger upper hull, but it looks pretty close to scale here. Oh boy, look at all this interior space I have to play with! I can probably do a full interior, I found some good reference photos to use. ​Just kidding about the sub tech war, Azimech's sub is still better than this little boat.

Well don't just sit there, show us what's under the fairings!

Hopefully we can get an alternate texture for an orange X-1.

I think we should just let ghostbuzzer7 do it, since he was the first to volunteer for this week. ​It's not like it helps or hurts me anyway, the only person who voted for me was myself.

Yes, the Glory to Stalin Derp Tank​!

I was about to make my usual complaint about the IVA being too sparse, but I remembered that fighter cockpits don't normally have the almighty cargo bags in them... Is there any chance of seeing a V-1 here?

It's so tiny! How can something that tiny fly?

It seems like more people would have time on Friday, considering that it's the beginning of the weekend and all. Also, keeping it on Friday makes it a sort of treat for the weekend.

Good, good... Now make a set of B-29 parts to go along with it!

Will there be a brand new vote for next week's maintainer, or will the person with the second highest votes get next week, or will you pick somebody at random?

Oh, I see. Nevermind.

Wait... Is the real X-1 really that long? EDIT: No, doesn't look like it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bell_X-1_color.jpg

I would just delete the poll and post a new one. That way people who previously voted on the incomplete poll can vote for somebody else (me) and the people who think they're funny and decided to vote for an empty spot can actually do something with their lives and place a serious vote (for me).

I noticed a slight inaccuracy in the cockpit. Most British bombers only had one pilots seat in the cockpit.

Ok, now I am seriously considering building a giant periscope. KSP needs mirrors.

I think the wings need work, and the engines could use a little aesthetic improvement. A good trick to make the jet engines look smaller is to use radial symmetry to put a bunch of structural intakes around it.

Maybe I should have picked a photo without the crosshairs on it. Yeah, I think I'm going to try and replicate U-47

Rep for the first to guess what I'm building next.
