Leviathan

[Atlantis]

Essentially, a 21st century Sea Dragon, the Leviathan is  a sea-launched super heavy launch vehicle with a payload capacity 7 times that of the space shuttle. It consists of 2 stages with plug-nozzle aerospike engines and is fully reusable.

The model itself is made from cardstock, which I plan to paint over. I may shorten the body a bit, since it looks too long.



Up next in 1/144 is either the Sea Dragon or an Ajax.

I would be tempted to leave the current size "as is". It's just cool to see model of some more recent concepts in rocketry and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished piece.

That's a nice collection of spacecraft you have there, Atlantis. The Enterprise-747 diorama is fun.

Yes, that 747/Shuttle drop is a fantastic way to display them.

A Leviathan launch would be something incredible to see.

That's a collection of models that's sure to make many of us green with envy!

Using "alternative materials" such as cardstock always gets my attention!
