Here's my progress on puttinh some details on the Ares I: I have the second stage complete minus a few fiddly little bits above the NASA Logo. I used Ton's engine and tank covers and his J-2 engine nozzle. I made a bunch of steering thruster details along with other bits shown on the reference drawing I used. The second stage is separable from the top of the interstage. The extra cylinder in one of the photos is internal structure for the shroud between the second stage and the Orion CSM. Orion will also be separable from the rocket. Now I just need to design the shroud and put it all together.
