I like it

Great job on the Shuttle. I will eventually get around to building it. I am still waiting for the official replacement to the shuttle. This beauty has reserved its place in history.

Well done Chris

What everyone else said.... Great job and thanks for sharing the photos.

Very nice - I've done an AXM at 1:200 and wondered how the D7/FG compared. Will likely do a variety of these for the rockets gardens I'm working on (one D7/FG, one MARS Center, two AXM maybe?). Makes it a bit more interesting. Currently working Soyuz models from MARS Center, the simple Landsbergen, an early Leo, and Ton. Interesting differences in approach, parts selection, and graphics.

SilverOx(ide?) - why not do the series? ARES I, ARES V, Direct (jleslie48.com), the cargo "shuttle" (AXM or jleslie), kit-bash a Delta derivative (jleslie or landsbergen), and the long shot - a revivied Buran (Leo's site). Spin a pointer in the middle and let us know which it'll be.

CDW,
Several choices for Shuttle Stacks at the Lower Hudson Valley Challenger Center (jleslie48.com real space section). AXM of course has one, and the LHVCC has 1:200 and 1:100 tank/srb sets for download.

BTW, you can rig a small hook (Z - profile) on the external tank to slip under a strap added to the orbiter nose to make the orbiter removable.

Thanks for that Yogi, I now have one from the LHV site to build . Neat idea about the hook too!
