I like that name, 'Repka'. The description fits the shape indeed.
Just like I call the Vostok ball capsule by its original name 'Sharik' I will call the 'Semyorka' booster parts 'Repka' from now on. Is there a plural form?

Your 'Repka' is looking good! The silver makes it very realistic.

Here are some surreal pics of those Repka-scavengers.

Just realised: the cyrillic "e" in Russian is more or less pronounced "yoh" Is it Ryopka then?

'Repka' in English is Turnip…

Carrot in Russian is “Morkov’ ”. Boosters of R7 was called “Morkovka” = The little carrot.

Valery Chkalov a Russian aircraft test pilot (famous 63-hour flight from Moscow, Soviet Union to Vancouver, Washington, United States via the North Pole on an Tupolev ANT-25 plane (June 18–20, 1937) named the Earth as 'Sharik' (‘the little ball’). He dreamed to fly around Earth.
The first cosmonauts joked: ‘Let’s fly around Sharik!’.:D

Спасибо за исправление, Лео!

(I guess it says 'Thanks for correcting, Leo')

What remains is that "carrot" is a very fitting description for the booster.

Hi Merzo, glad you like the Semyorka-Morkovka. It's just a little fun-doodle.
I am very happy with the avatar I have now, which I also made myself. You can use this one if you'd like to do so. :D:D:D
