[Airship and Baloon Challenge!]

Hey all! It's Hebzepbiah here again. The challenge this time is to make an airship or a baloon! It doesn't need any gas or whatsoever. NO AIRSHIP MODS ALLOWED!!

Note: You can also just abuse the physics and use a kraken drive

Prize: Fame (But not fortune)

Just to give you an idea about what I'm talking about, here are some of the ones I made.

A baloon

An airship

Happy flying!

[Model Rockets in KSP]

@jimmymcgoochieSure does! Cubs are nice engines, aren't they? I also used them for the model BFR.

It was just meant to be a generic engine until it was revamped actually.

Ah... thought so.

[Model Rockets in KSP]

@Stamp20 Hey, I made a model F9 as well!

Did you use the Cub verniers for the main engines as well? That's what I did.

[Model Rockets in KSP]

Hey rocketeers! I've got a challenge. Build a half or quarter scale model of your favorite real-life rocket in KSP! Prize: Fame (but not fortune.)

my question is-

the Reliant

Swivel

Terrier

Skipper

Panther 

Twin-Boar

To be incredibly honest, most of the stock KSP engines are just made-up engines. The panther jet might just be any old jet engine, but the Terrier is good for Apollo LM ascent stage.

It says which engine on the wiki for Making History engines.

https://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Kerbodyne_KE-1_"Mastodon"_Liquid_Fuel_Engine

Down in the Trivia section (this is the Mastodon), it says "The engine was inspired by the American F-1 engine."

The trivia is incredibly helpful, it just really doesn't work for some engines. (Mainsail does not say real-life vulcain.)

I actually never knew that the RE-M3 Mainsail was supposed to be the Ariane 5 Vulcain until this update. Nice revamps.

[PS4 Making History Space Shuttle.]

Space shuttles are hard stuff. What boosters did you use? That looks like a Kickback or a tweakscaled Clydesdale. If you have MH then I suggest you use Pollux with the 1.875m nose cone, it's the correct scaling (just the tail doesn't look right.) Nice job!

[Have you found something in Kerbin's desert?]

Well, at the Dessert Airfield there are some cacti. I haven't tried scanning them though.

The Dessert airfield looks amazing with 1.9!
