Very very good job! I have designed a few models myself and I really think you have what it takes to become a great designer. Congratulations!

Thanks for the kind comments. I'm glad that you find my work useful.

I realized that almost three months have passed since my last post, but in the mean time many things happened in my family and my job and I have not had time to complete the description of my project till now.

In the next days I’d like to complete this thread and to start a new one about the project that I already announced.

Here below two images I took from my new project almost complete. I have to complete the test build and the editing of the final release.

It is the MLAS (Max Launch Abort System) realised from NASA in the contest of ORION project.
