How about sticking some RCS onto it? From little support structures. And make it a tad bigger too. (Same height, but wider... Or is that against the mighty deLaval nozzle? hmm) -
I... I think it does need some more detail... for now it looks somewhat... jury-rigged?
-
What I'd love to see is this load of greeble: Add a nozzle to it in the middle and you got the ultimate service module propulsion unit.
-
Now what's the russian version of fly me to the moon? Wait, I actually found a russian version... weird.
-
WOW!Now that looks good!
-
Arguably, 0.5 gimbal for an engine with gianormous thrust is more than enough. EDIT:Or add 4 RD-58-surface-adaptations for roll control. N-IF1974 ftw!

*grumbles* He must've hired some modellers with all the øýþÑÂтрðýýþù òðûютõ he gained whilst making stuff for the capitalist pigdogs. */grumbles*

Oh my God! Will it have custom explosion FX? ^^

You're missing TantaresLV launchers pack. Yellow(?) button on the right(?) of the 1st post.

this. And my avatar too.

Looks good!

I must be even more terrible at english than I ever imagined.

Essentially, I mean this: PS:Watch the bottom skirt! Yours is fully conical instead of being cylindrical-conical! http://www.friends-partners.org/mwade/graphics/n/n1f1974.jpg If you need something bigger to see the difference, here's a cut: http://www.bernd-leitenberger.de/img/n1cut.gif (Yes, the only 4 launches were fully conical, but the real "production" version, if there would've ever been one, would have this cylinder-cone arrangement for sure, 8l and 9l(?) were already built like that.) PPS:So, are you going to arrowify those fuel line bulky-thingys? Look at zhe drawing, much more arrow-like!
-
I'd just like to suggest that you might want to keep the cylinder scales as accurate as possible. (I mean the top and bottom width ratios.) => That'll make the parts usable in RSS, because there is no way you can .cfg edit the width proportions. And the Blok B engine... that... that's not really going to work, I think. I mean, you blow your shrouding and then you got meters of empty space between the end of an engine bell and the fuel tank :/

Gold beige is beautiful, but if you're doing the N-IU your ref. model should be this: http://www.friends-partners.org/mwade/graphics/n/n1f1974.jpg So, as you see, the fuel lines for the engines are a lot more streamlined, almost arrow like, compared to yours. Anyway, looking much better now!

Well, I'll try listing my observations: 1)The decoupler mesh should be a bit thinner... right? http://api.ning.com/files/jNPGddwnISXNDvLeI1ORY6uukZCpg-12hxA-ZsODdSfL5IBNWE2wCFkgFw7dvuaSotTI6911TvWvGAfx5b376WwpUxqU87Qh/n16lallup.jpg 2)The upper tank of that stage needs to be more spherical. Possibly the upper part of the sphere might even be slightly "squashed" http://www.russianspaceweb.com/images/rockets/n1/design/exploded_1.jpg 3)If you're going for the N-IU look, I'd have a look at this page: http://www.bernd-leitenberger.de/hercules.shtml However this picture in particular is interesting: http://www.bernd-leitenberger.de/img/n1-n1f.gif with the 2nd model being the N-IF as it should've been flown on launch no.5 (notice that the conical skirt has been replaced by a conical-cylindrical one...) 4)Maybe a bit more flashy decoupler mesh? (not sure myself) And some general remarks: 1)This rocket really would have boatloads of potential if you'd split the mesh into smaller parts, which would be loaded as one part by the part.cfg file. The main point would obviously be that you could, for example, split the Blok B into the upper spherical tank, the decoupler, the big conical fuel tank, the lower part with the engines. And then you could simply make the fuel tank longer, and you got a N-IF (1965) Blok B, without distorting any proportions! And the fully cylindrical tank might be used on Blok V, aswell as a resized decoupler mesh! And for a N-II or N-III rocket to work, I think you'd have to seperate the little shrouding parts for the engines from the fuel tanks, instead of modelling them as jettisons. This way they could be placed without the need of something being "below" the fuel tank. 2)If you could make (or well, collaborate with someone on making) a procedural "engine heatshield" that would be perfect! You'd need just 2 types of parts - one normal engine heatshield, a mostly flat surface onto which you can procedurally add holes of varying diameter in a symmetry-like way, and the 2nd one would be slightly curved, for the center engines of the N-I. That is, if you procedurally add 6 holes to that part... else you got a N-I (1962) 3)Mixing and matching the rocket with stock sizes might be rather hard. There's no shame in using a tiny little procedural interstage to make the transition smoother => I'd go with proper ratios of fuel tank bottom and top widths.
-
Will the N-I be N-IF based (well, from a 1965 perspective, N-IU) or N-IL3? It looks... wip-ish. Can't explain why I'm not exploding with joy looking at it tho...

Will we see the Zenit spysat anytime soon? Maybe after the Soyuz revamp?

I'm curious, how do I prevent the game from resetting the space center location? I started a new game in RSS, picked Baikonur, and now I've reloaded it and I'm somewhere near the coast! edit:-.- http://imgur.com/XNjLvPG

Sorry to say this, but there seems to be a rather serious problem with your video past the 2 minute mark. I'd like to know if you managed to get these visual effects by mods or if they were added later on.

TMK is really cool! I went crazy and resized some parts to 6m diameter for an accurate replica, but then I got entangled with spaceplanes before I could finalize the masses. And I agree, a Poisk/Rassvet would be really cool! I hope the docking module won't be orange however... PS:Could you actually be going for a physics bachelor or master? And you got time for building such beautiful parts?! Are you a god or something? (Yeah, I'd like to study physics but I'm really unsure if someone with a miserable IQ of 120 (yes, yes, not really an accurate measurement of intelligence...) could pull off such a thing with decent enough marks to work for the industry) EDIT:Congrats Niemand! One more to ban me!

The big KW SRB is a Titan SRB replica AFAIK.

Aren't they already heroes of the Soviet Union? Or did Don Camillo prevent you from travelling to Moscow, Beale?

The only thing saving you from a visit of a black Volga right now is that it won't start because it's over -20C, comrade. (Just kidding) Very nice Atlas! And taking into account your texturing skills, it's probably 20kB big to boot!
