Oh my god. Can we have a download???? Put this on the spaceport omg.

lol you seem excited

Yes I've been making "heat shields" out of structural panels, and not only does it look weird, but they'Re hard to make and use a lot of parts, so yeah this seems awesome Although 6.4m wouldn't fit on the launch stages, maybe make it 2.5m/3.75m?

i designed this to be used with deadly reentry mod, it will work without the mod just fine, but in vanilla ksp there isnt reentry heat, i haven't made smaller versions yet, am working on a issue that you get with large landers or ships that are long, they tend to flip backwards and the heat shield just becomes a parachute and keeps you from correcting so you burn up.

REMEBER CORRECT CAPS!

[RogueMason]

Wasn't this originally stickied for that Thread of the Month thing? Now we've moved into July, maybe no more sticky for this thread, otherwise there would be too many sticky threads. I think, anyway

[Rareden]

how dare they!

[Mekan1k]

All powerful thread moderators, please re-sticky this thread!

[RocketTurtle]

HOLY CRISPY CRACKERS, THESE ARE AMAZING.

I thought the first one was a screenshot! You're really good at these!

sometime probably

also is this what people more pictured kerbals being, sort of the pixar rending style skin.

That looks perfect, it's a Pixar/Muppet type of head.

[Canopus]

I think it has a little bit to much hair for a Kerbal.

[stupid_chris]

*cough*

[Rareden]

I think it has a little bit to much hair for a Kerbal.

depends, i was thinking of doing the kerbalizer type thing squad has on the main page, so would be able to customize hair length and such to what people want.

*cough*

exactly what i had in mind

@stupid chris your name seems to describe you well (sorry) I meant the standart Kerbals. What you are showing me are the developers.

@Rareden i meant the ingame Kerbals

Wow try keeping it polite. There's only one model for Kerbals in the game, and more are being introduced in the next update, I wouldn't be surprised if they have longer hair or something. And it's the Kerbal equivalent of the devs, so they're still Kerbals you know. And anyway you didn't say "the ingame Kerbals" in your original post, so you can't really come back at me for going with what information you gave.

then yes probably, they would have much shorter hair kind of like military style hairdo but not stubble

Sorry i just had to do this And what are you talking about additional Kerbal models in the next update? I would like to see where you got your information.

[stupid_chris]

Right here!

Made some new kinds of Kerbal, one of them is the kerbal recruit that will be used in Romfarer’s UI (will do a web blog post eventually, probably after 0.21 with more details). Making one big animation containing all the Kerbal Shorts.
