Wow! Thanks for all the naming tips :D 

Here is some more tanks, too extreme with the paint scheme maybe?

Looks Great! I like the extreme-ness of it. The rivets are a super nice touch. I think it is suitable for the Black Prince, it screams "Hey I'm a unique rocket!" Keep it.

What's the difference between Tantares and Tantares LV?

Tantares is the pack which includes the spacecraft and LV is the one which includes the rockets , LV stands for Lifting Vehicle.

Maybe I am a little confused, I though isFairing=False was for normal inline fairings, and isFairing=True was for more complex NERVA like fairings?

isFairing controls (or used to control) whether the shroud/fairing stays attached to the decoupler or the engine. Default value is True: Fairing detaches with the decoupler.

IIRC, the way False used to work is that it would stay attached to the engine until the engine was staged. Sort of the way the interstage between the Saturn V first and second stages worked. (stage sep -> stage 2 rockets fire -> little while later, interstage detaches from stage 2). You've seen videos of that right? That's sort of how isFairing used to work. Sort of.

Many thanks for the explanation! 

Yes I think many parts in Tantares have it set to false, I will need to fix that quickly.

This makes me smile that shades of grey might be too extreme.   Make the body metallic purple, then it might be extreme.

Artistic relativism. :wink: 

An odd challenge to model the Black Prince's engine. It has an odd shape. 

The old model was very abstracted, this model will be closer, but still simplified... 

Because I am not a very competent 3D modeler.

 They're... A little funky looking. 

Just make sure they gimbal! 

This time they will gimbal, which will make the Black Prince actually pilot-able, without any reaction systems.

Small alteration...

I am unsure about the nozzles...

Personally they need to be just a little bit more stubby

We all want an optical acting halfway reasonable and realistic. For even more inverted wine and beer glasses instead of thruster nozzles are not needed. The basic nozzle design form  Beale fits perfectly.

Nice! Can I get a closer look at the geometry? :)

I second Hrabu - I think it needs the recessed bottom and front / back.
