Thanks for the feedback, I'll give the paper strips a try on the next one! Here is the rest of the ICPS assembly and Orion Escape Tower. Almost Done!

Worked on the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS) over the weekend (and earlier in this week), identical to the Delta IV build I did a while back with the exception of the top.

Thank you everyone, got the SRBs assembled today (getting the hang of these after building 2 for the shuttle and 1 for the 1st stage of Ares 1X). Detail on the skirt (lots of little parts further down) SRB done with core stage attachments added.

Next model up for my rocket garden is the Delta II. Only modifications I made was to re-scale to 1:144 and remove the logos to make a generic model. Done with the main body as of yesterday, moving on to the 9 SRBs, won't take long just lots of rolling small tubes!

Thanks Everyone! Got the final details on the Shenzhou: And the complete (as of last week) Tiangong space station:

Thanks everyone! Some details needed still but here is the manned Shenzhou:
