Normally I have a design pretty much nailed down before I begin. Not so this time; there are many details here that either (a) I haven't figured out yet, or (b) I'm not sure if will work out, particularly regarding the paint and decals. And normally I will have gotten further into the build before starting the build thread; this time I've barely started. Nonetheless, here goes.
Zylaxus is an alien deep space voyager, powered by the Zylaxians' signature Plasmospheric™ drive.
Note the unusual (for me) lack of decals. I haven’t come up with anything I like yet. The final scheme is likely to be very light on decals. The fins and the ping pong ball will have to be the decor, for the most part.
ORK file is attached. This will actually be one of my larger builds at almost 31". It should come in around 4 oz but is quite draggy, so with its 24mm mount it'll be a D/E rocket for the most part.
This rocket is the final (?) evolution of the very first design I posted on my sprawling and ridiculous half-baked design thread, almost 7 years ago. Yikes. I guess it deserves to be built already. Other than the addition of the plasmospheric drive, this is remarkably close to the original version posted back then:
