Well, after seeing the thread on Bob's downscale version of the OT, I figured it was time to try my hand at a full sized version. I decided, however, not to design the whole thing at once. Rather, I decided to lay out and build the orbiter first - if I can't get it to glide there isn't a lot of sense in going forward. We'll see about the mother ship soon. Oh, and this build includes cardstock nose cones and all - the only non-paper parts are going to be the dowel rods.
Any way, I did a layout of the parts for the orbiter and printed them out on 110# cardstock. I've now cut out and done the sub-assemblies (I like to make the tubes, nose cone, and other components so that I have a complete "kit" to build following the instructions). Here is a shot of the components for the orbiter. I've just started assembly and will put up more pics as I get them.
