Just an update, no screenshot yet. I've started work on the thruster plate, the hemisphere that the nuclear bombs will push against.

I had to do some calculations to get size and dimensions logical, since in the final version I should be able to hang 2 space shuttles on the sides. I decided to make the thruster place 300' in diameter, about 2.5 times the length of the shuttle.

I've got the hemisphere modeled, now I need to add the "nurnies" representing the thrust bomb guns which toss the bombs down under the thruster plate, and the control cabling to them, then I can begin working on the attachments for the shock absorbers.

The main cabin, near as I can gather, was rectangular in shape, but I think I'm going to make it hexagonal. That just seems sturdier and more logical to me.

I'm really going to try focusing on it tomorrow, and then I can hopefully give you some screen shots.
