Model is actually very well done as is. 95%+ will be unchanged/untouched. Just a few places with extra faces that don't need to be there, or meshes that could be...

Updated render with the extra nozzle fuel attachment stuff in place. I think using the extra attachment bracket works quite well, and interferes less with the shading and geometry of...

One thing I'm not able to figure out from the images is how the gimbal actuators should be rigged. The problem I'm encountering is that when the gimbal is rotated,...

Re: Gimbal - Yeah, I'll have to give it a bit more thought and take a look at a few more resources on it. Those bottom attachment points certainly seem...

Sounds good; I'll keep this thread updated with anything I happen to get done on it, so that we're not duplicating effort. Curves -- Vertex influence can go as far...

Few images on the blender path/curve setup for piping, hopefully they are mostly self-explanatory on how it does the curve for various vertex layouts and 'resolutions: Base path, with bevel...

Bit of work on some of the additional detailing: LOX input boost pump lines:  Initial bits from the green-highlighted areas in images above:  Will continue to refine and...

Bit more geometry work on the additional geometry bits:  And the fuel-input boost pump line. I cannot for the life of me find any information on where it gets...

Excellent, taking a look over all of it now, should probably have it all merged in a bit later today.

Changes/additions all merged in.   Gimballing/etc all rigged up for testing. Can get it all working without SMR by using some interesting constraints setup, depending upon the intended gimbal...
