Unlike more modern silo-based missiles, which can be launched from inside their underground silos, the Atlas had to be raised to the surface before launch. For the model this has the advantage that I could build both the missile and part of the launch facility. The silo was made using reinforced concrete, with a tan colour. On the surface it was surrounded by tarmac.

The Atlas moth (Attacus atlas) is a large saturniid moth found in the tropical and subtropical forests of Southeast Asia, and common across the Malay archipelago.
Atlas moths are considered the largest moths in the world[2] in terms of total wing surface area [upwards of c. 400 cm2 (62 sq in)]. Their wingspans are also amongst the largest, from 25–30 cm (10–12 in).
Atlas moths are said to be named after either the Titan of Greek mythology or their map-like wing patterns. In Hong Kong the Cantonese name translates as "snake's head moth", referring to apical extension of the forewing, which bears a passing resemblance to a snake's head.
