Here's my reference for the Ares. It's an official NASA site, with the latest update to the rocket design. That's what I incorporated into my design. The version your thinking of is closer to the Ares I-X, the test version, which is my next model.
Safe, Simple and Soon
I'm not sure quite what to do about the Orion. There are so many Orion models already out there, but I'd like to have one for the model. Any ideas?
By the way, your doing an absolutely fantastic job, it looks great.

I think I'll have to invest in one of Shrike's Rolly Sticks after this build. A narrow diameter 8 inch long rod would have been just the thing for helping to join the edges of the cylinders.

Thanks for that, and thank you for the compliment.
I just have to mention that it's #5 on the bestsellers list on ecardmodels.com :D I made some changes to the framing so the production version will be easier to assemble.
