Up close and the Orbit is a dizzying array of metal. One day I shall stump up the cash to go up here but it is quite expensive...
Did a colab with Haley Frost So much fun, you should definitely check out her stream!!!!
This was a mixture of powder paint and flour.
The 'Orbital Interceptor' was introduced as a response to the introduction of armed drones to space combat. Many different versions were designed; this variant mounts two high-velocity autocannons, which proved highly effective against the usually unarmored drones.
Built for Space Jam 2021
I’ve been itching to try out some realistic space stuff ever since I came across Finn Roberts' incredible builds. The carrier category sparked the idea of a tug boat in space - A tiny capsule with manipulator arms and docking capability. Primarily used for towing and positioning space station modules but also less routine missions like retrieving wayward satellites.
The Orbit is a sculpture and observation tower in the Olympic Park, Stratford, London. Britain's largest (and tallest) piece of Public Art, 2012. Anish Kapoor / Cecil Balmond. Steel by ArcelorMittal.
Olympic Legacy - but is it Grand Design or Garbage Vanity? You decide.
Envisioned as a last response measure, the Artemis-class is a rapid but inefficient orbiter designed to fight in planetary orbit.
A two-stage design, the entire stack consists of 4 solid rocket boosters flanking a liquid-fuelled rocket, which detaches from the second stage when expended. The second stage is powered by 4 conventional liquid-fuelled rockets, each with a drop tank of extra fuel which can be discarded when empty. There are also 4 RCS thrusters on the main stage, and 4 smaller nozzles on the crew module.
Concealed during takeoff by large protective panels, the craft loses these after breaking through the atmosphere. Along with the first stage rockets, they are in designed to be reusable, allowing them to be mated to another starfighter.
Once in planetary orbit, the Artemis can use its many thrusters to force itself into different orbits and engage hostile forces. For this purpose, 8 missiles are loaded, along with two autocannons that fire caseless ammunition. A large magazine, designed only to dispense bullets when the guns have fully deployed, sits in between them. Directly between the missiles is the fire suppression system, which can freeze with liquid nitrogen any malfunctioning ordnance.
The craft is powered by two large batteries, but auxiliary power can be generated by the solar panels on the opposite side of the craft. While not particularly efficient, it is an adequate backup.
Much internal space is taken up by the RCS fuel tank and the attached compressor. Opposite this piece of vital equipment is the communications array, which allows the crew of two to liaise with Earth-based command and control personnel, as well as detect enemies.
Up front in the detachable pilot's module, the two-man crew split their responsibilities between piloting and target acquisition. The module is equipped with a separate life-support and fire suppression system.
When the mission is complete (or the ordnance is expended), the piloting module can detach itself and return to Earth. Similar to the Space Shuttles of old, the underside of the module is covered in black heat-resistant tiles.

Very happy with this. Threading those pneumatic tubes around the model was one of the most fun parts. Making realistic use of as much of the framework space was an interesting challenge.
Here was Go North West Wrightbus Volvo B7RLE Eclipse 6153 WA12 ACZ was seen approaching into Cheetham Hill, Tesco working a route 52 to Failsworth. This former Plymouth City Bus as 106 has now carried the Orbits livery like their ADL Enviro 200s. Presumably the rest of the Ex Plymouth Eclipse's to arrive to Manchester would go the same as this one in photo. 18/02/20

The Astro Orbiter in action as viewed from the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover in the Magic Kingdom.
No form of the attraction existed in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World until 1974, three years after the park's opening, when Tomorrowland underwent a massive expansion including the creation of Space Mountain, a new location for the Disneyland-attraction, Carousel of Progress, and the WEDWay PeopleMover. Star Jets was considered the focal point of Tomorrowland due to its soaring, spinning rockets and central location.
This version of the attraction was based on the Disneyland version, in both location (on top of the PeopleMover platform) and in style (both feature a large Saturn V rocket). However the attraction vehicles were different than any other previous form as they were much larger and featured a flatter back-end and larger tail fins. Each of the 12 open-air vehicles was attached to the central axis by a 20 foot arm. The vehicles held up to two passengers who circled round and round, 80 feet above the ground, while controlling their ascent and descent with a metal control stick.
In 1994, the attraction was re-designed and re-opened as the Astro Orbiter, part of the complete renovation of the park's Tomorrowland section. The attraction featured a highly stylized iron-work tower in lieu of the center rocket along with various planets on the outside of the attraction as to appear as if the rockets were weaving between the planets. The ride at the Magic Kingdom does 11 rotations per minute and averages 1.2 million miles a year.[2] In the narration for the Tomorrowland Transit Authority, the ride is referenced as the "League of Planets Astro Orbiter."

Sunset on day 1 in Mt Cook National park. Its amazing to think the earth spins on its axis and orbits a star we call the sun. Without the sun we would be a cold unhabital planet. Sunset is the best time for a beer and some reflection.

My buddy darksyntax got me interested in MFZ and Intercept Orbit in particular, so I built this fleet. My ships are based off of some of the work I did for SHIPtember 2013 flickr theme month last year. I figure I'll probably end up tweaking them for specific systems for the game once the rules are known.
The frame aces and companies are DRevD's awesome design with just very minor alterations due to my parts availability.
