Yeah, they’re pretty stiff, much stiffer than vacu-form. They can be shaped with heat, and that worked well for the full wraps. But it’s just not as easy when it’s only a half-wrap.I thought the vacu-form wraps were tough, but the resin ones look harder to work with. On the bright side, they'll be tougher. And the tunnels look a little more detailed at the ends. Looking good!
That's an achingly beautiful capsule/cover/tower, but methinks your whit balance is off, they look quiet tan to me. But I'll take your word for it!Capsule painted white. The umbilical connection will get silver, while the tip of the tower and nozzles will be black. I’ll use a paint pen for those.

I am crap at taking pictures. I’ll try and take better ones tomorrow. It’s white, I swear!That's an achingly beautiful capsule/cover/tower, but methinks your whit balance is off, they look quiet tan to me. But I'll take your word for it!
The tower is stout, mine has survived many landings. The upper section of the rocket comes down in a cradle, aft end lower, and the capsule/tower is designed to pop off on landing if needed, held on by a small Kevlar cord.wow, nice modeling skills, but how do you think the tower will hold up on landing?
