Kepler and Delta 7925-10L

[sreinmann]

Hey guys, I wanted to share my build of Zach's Kepler Space telescope and my modification of Eirk Groen's Delta launch vehicle.

Zach's Kepler came together very nicely and I liked that I was able to rescale it to 1/25ish like my many other satellite builds. I didn't really flex the customization too much, so it was stress-less.

And my Delta II 7925 recolor from Erik's design. I was happy that he was open to me recoloring. I understood that there is significant color changes and configuration changes from vehicle to vehicle. I was able to get a couple of decent photos of the 7925 in its assembly building that confirmed some of the dimensions and logo difference. ULA only had a two occasions to fly this configuration (STEREO and Kepler) so it's understandable that it isn't going to be a common subject for a designer.

With research, I was able to determine that I could use parts of Erik's 7925-298, 7920H-300, and 7920-304. I modified a couple of the areas to match my photos and I hope to have a "supplement" recolor file available for download in case anyone is interested. Ah, I should point out, in my build I rescaled the design to 1:144. So you're results will be ... bigger? Anyhow, there was some areas I wasn't able to duplicate, hopefully no one will sweat those details.

Opps, and a compulsory photo of my other "telescope" satellite builds. Hope you like 'em.

Very nice, Scot.
Well done.
keep up the good work.

Great job on the recolor and models. These telescope/rocket combos are pretty cool. Inspired me to start working on one for JWST.
