I made this craft for a request in my company(link in sig):

Instructions:

Here's the launcher subassembly:

And the core(Place a cupola in the VAB and attach this below that):

Dock 3 of these to the core(Place a probe in the VAB, add this subassembly then reroot to the top docking port):

Then dock three of these on(Same instructions for setting it up in the VAB as the Crew modules):

Individually launch each of the modules and dock them.

Enjoy!

Thanks, I'm glad it was easy to assemble!

Pro tip: you can edit a thread's title by going into "advanced" editing. Button below what you are writing when you edit. Ahem capicity Ahem. Quite a breeze here, right?

Rune. Nice station BTW.

[Mad Rocket Scientist]

Thanks for catching that!

(I hope my station name isn't too much like your amazing base-in-a-box).

I'm in the process of putting together another station, this time with the bottom cupola. Can't believe I overlooked that on the first one! Will post a picture when complete.

Great!

I'm always happy to receive pictures!

OK, looks great!

Nice!

I'm glad it worked for you!

I'm building my station currently. I really like this one, but I'm not a big fan of using other people's crafts, so I'm just copying yours by building it myself. Thanks for the inspiration, though. The station shaping up well, all because of you. Without this inspiration, I would have just built another mass of trusses and useless solar panels.

Very nice build! I sense one problem, though- no boxes. How will you fix?

I suggest more cowbell/boxes.

Thanks, I don't know how I'll fix. Maybe if it came in a box, and launched on a heavier rocket? Will test.

You could completely ignore aerodynamics and put it in a .90-style fairing! With wings and things! No tubes for you!
