NASA Spaceflight Program(Constellation)Rocket,Mobile Launcher,Crawler Transporter,VAB

[HBS]

Long time I didnt post anything here,& I honestly dont know if this even WIP is fit the bill to be here(because it not really a car,but fully moveable giant rig)

So as I love Aeronautical & Space technology,I think it is the time for me to made this huge project.
So from NASA VAB(Vehicle Assembly Building),I went so far to made the rocket,launch equippment,the Launch Pad(LC-39A),Ares-1X Constellation(conception).

So far,I was in progress to finish the crawler-transporter ML(Mobile Launcher).Apart from that,the Launch Umbilical Tower(LUT) & maintainence deck is finished so there is more & more to come.

By the way,here is the some rendering of the currently ongoing project.

The VAB.

Really nice job man! This should be ur biggest passion to be able to do something like that ^.^ great!

Great work, I think rocket look too short, where it should be really tall. Keep it up.

[HBS]

Thanks for all the like!

So,here the progress......I need to finish the traction motor & abit more of the mechanical thing,then have it textures,& going to model the crawlerway.
So still so much more to do.
