The OVC-150 Antares! Better late than never Edition!

[Zaryulenko]

Hello! I'm here today to present the results of 3 days of hard work!

The Antares Shuttle (Former Mock-up shuttle)

Now a little of behind scenes :

All i wanted was a entire shuttle launch system but at the moment i was only able to do the orbiter itself, it was hard but most of the hard work was on the cockpit where it was a R&D(D stands for destruction) for a nice front, i also got hurt on a finger by accident after using my "Manly silicon application" (Pressing the hot silicon so it covers the area much better). After that i discovered the best friend of a kerbal stability issue The Mighty Duct Tape Paper edition!, Sorry i had no struts .

Glorious Final Edit!- Hey there! Im back whit this little project I know i stopped posting about it but dont worry its finally done, Didn't Went as suppossed but here!.

Im so sorry from forgetting to show you guys a photo of the complete Antares shuttle but i didn't had time for that, Now im starting to do these things again, This time i'll do a Polikarpov I-153 "Chaika", but before i can do that i needed to post back here the last progress made for the OVC-150.

I hope you guys see the next thing i do at this because i want to make a Little I-153 and i want YOU GUYS to see it!

And also a thank for your support

Time for glorious Orbiter Photos!

Development photos here! -

Looks great! What's it's longitude?

[Zaryulenko]

35cm from the main SSME to the cockpit and 22.5cm from wings and 10.2 from bottom to top of the winglet, honestly i expected it to be the half of its size

It's a DIY Duct Tape Orbiter!

You said "Rocket engines", did you actually mean engines?!. Model rocket ones?

Nope i actually wanted to say SSME but i forgot about them, they are made out of paper and yes a duct tape orbiter, Im sure jebediah would be proud of it!

[astropapi1]

I'm gonna make one.

What are the wings made of? Just normal styrofoam?

two sheets of shell paper put together for extra resistance. I recommend you to be REAAAAAALLY careful at the cockpit, Its the most complex part of all (Just see the abuse of paper tape)

[astropapi1]

Any progress? I just made some sketches of my model (still too ugly for the internetz). It's gonna be about 40cm long, and it'll have a working cargo bay.

Are you going to add OMS engines to it?

[Whirligig Girl]

Name it Desley. Or just the obvious Jebidiah. Myabe even krrim.

[Dodgey]

Man that's awesome. Nice work

[Zaryulenko]

Any progress

Are you going to add OMS engines to it?

The small Rocket engines are the OMS, i call them the Multi-purpose Support Ascend-Maneuver Engines or OMS-CE90.

The im going to do the last step of work at this moment, im preparing a mix of glue and water for extra covers (For the nose but i decided to use it somewhere else like the bottom and the cargo bay to match the heights, no pics for the next 2 hours .

[Zaryulenko]

Well, It may be back from the dead but atleast its done, I needed to do this to continue to my next project!

[Dodgey]

Any new pics?
