STS 1:1 Scale

[TtTOtW]

Well you know... gotta keep upping the game, right?

How do I build / design a shuttle

You might as well ask how to sculpt an apple, when you have both an apple for reference and the set of tools needed to do so.

 

[Blazer Ayanami]

Is that

I knew you are good at shuttles…

but this is absolutely insane!

Earlmilly?

 

[Danny Batten]

Is that

Earlmilly?

Yes..yes it is

 

[Pink]

Wow....
Btw, the probe that you're using for a windscreen seems kind of large in comparison?

 

[TtTOtW]

Is that

Earlmilly?

Yes

There's only so much you can do, even with .bp editing.

 

[Earl]

Is that

Earlmilly?

I am… or am I?



HEY, VSAUCE, MICHAEL HERE!

 

[TtTOtW]

HEY, VSAUCE, MICHAEL HERE!

Bombardier Earl, are you still building tanks in SFS?

 

[Earl]

Bombardier Earl, are you still building tanks in SFS?

…sort of. I've mainly been helping my friends get the gsme and teach them, but yeah a little.
I found a really cool ammo I need to talk to you about!

Want some privileged access?

 

[Pink]

Yeah, I know.
What I was trying to say was, the SFS probe part must be huge if it looks that big in comparison to a 1:1 STS.

 

[TtTOtW]

It is 1m high and 2m wide, or just over 39x79in.

 

[Pink]

That's bigger than Opportunity or Spirit!

HEY, VSAUCE, MICHAEL HERE!

Well, Earl, you might not remember me, cause I was apsent to the forum for some months, but I kept visiting it as a guest, and I know who you are, so welcome back

 

[Earl]

Well, Earl, you might not remember me, cause I was apsent to the forum for some months, but I kept visiting it as a guest, and I know who you are, so welcome back

Of course I remember you? Thanks, and I guess I could say the same to you too!

 

[TtTOtW]

This bird may be picking up some Soviet hardware soon...

 

[Blazer Ayanami]

This bird may be picking up some Soviet hardware soon...

Huh? You're buiding the Buran?

 

[TtTOtW]

Nope. You'll see...

 

[Blazer Ayanami]

Nope. You'll see...

Judging by a outside-forum conversation, I think I now know what you're up to

 

[SM84CE]

You could add a few more tons of fuel inside the ET fairing, seeing how it's mostly empty...

Oh, and reasonable payload when over-depending on BP editing (like my shuttle) is 1000, maybe even 2000T not to LEO, but to Mars...

But he's going for an exact STS recreation, and trying to keep everything as close to the reality as it is possible. That is not a futuristic Shuttle

 

[TtTOtW]

SM84CE the booster fairings are stack full, as as the booster should be... It is completely separate from the ET.

 

[Pink]

When making SFS recreations of hydrogen powered rockets, you usually need to leave some empty space, or it will be heavier than its real life counterpart.

 

[Jeff0982]

Is there a good way of adding a docing port and or wheel to the bottom?
