There are no operational Titans, right?

No operational Saturn either...

Right. The first poster mixed historic and current LVs; now I'm doing some more specified posters of current and near-future LVs.

Here's something : The last Delta II is yet to be out ! Launching Sep 2018 if everything goes as planned.

I suggest adding stuff from Orbital ATK. (obviously different from ULA.)

Just looked at the "future Delta family" launches page and realized that the 4,2 configuration will launch one last time. Dammit.

Added Delta II and swapped the DIVM+5,2 out for the last remaining 4,2:

I'd personally love a list of all Soviet launch vehicles (including canceled ones, like Buran-Energia), but I know i'm not everyone.

Thanks! I used some existing graphics but essentially traced over them using MS Paint. It works pretty well.

How do you add the shading?

I want to make these kinds of drawing too.

it is very simple b, just do like this: have a darker/brighter variant of all colors from your pallete while you are drawing -> after the coloring is done you just repaint one side of an object you want to add shading to -> tiforp

What is easier, for me, is to use Paint to grab a gradient from an existing reference and then stretch it across the desired space.

This is what I have hung in my bedroom. Except there's some extra stuff on the bottom.

Make me a list and include links to reference images, and I'll see what I can do.

Oh no, I didn't want you to actually make one, but thanks for the offer . I was just saying what I would want in response to the original post.

I'm still making posters -- currently working on Orbital ATK. The hardest part for me is curating a list and finding reference images, so if you can do that, I'll make the graphics themselves.

You should sell these if you can! Or you could do commisions! These are great!

If anyone wants to propose a list of rockets in exchange for a donation, I certainly won't turn it down!

[Barzon]

And how much would you want as a donation?

Open-ended. Whatever someone wants to contribute.

I'll start a GoFundMe today or tomorrow. "Rockets for beer money" or some such.

Could you make one of all European rockets (Black Arrow, Ariane 1,2,3, etc.) and Space X rockets?

Sounds like two different projects, but sure!

[Barzon]

Thanks! How much would you like at the least?

They take me about 1-2 hours of dedicated work, usually spread out over a few days. But if someone just wants to leave $5 as a "thanks" I am not going to be offended.

Here's Black Arrow, the Diamants, and Vega. Ariane families next. I'll have them all in a single poster form; this is just a WIP.

I know they're small, but if I don't make the small ones small, the big ones end up with so much detail that it's pretty much impossible. Scale is roughly twice that of historicspacecraft.com.

Ariane 1-4 (not full size; that will come later):
