Great rockets Tobius. I might have to look at your shading for my own shortly. Speaking of which: http://i.imgur.com/IRpab4L.png I ended up going for a two booster arrangement on the R-6. I didn't want to do a straight copy of the R-7, but as you pointed out, the 3 core is imbalanced in regards to ...

Hmm... okay. I'll look at switching to 4. I'm still unsure of the 'lengthening the core' part because, well, the seperation between boosters and fairing is exactly the same as on the R-7.
But the engine out part is a good point I wasn't thinking about properly. So thanks ^^

It did. In fact there were a variety of designs for it.
But I'm writing an AU, so I just use similar designation systems rather than actual rockets

Do you know what harmonic air flow around a cylinder is, and what happens when boundary flow is rolled at mid-cylinder? The cylinder will snap in two in the direction of strain. Like breaking a twig in two. Yes I do.but you've done nothing but insist it will occur while thoroughly misunderstanding ...

You may not be seeing it, the rocket three dimensionally as a stack. Try this. Maybe it will help my explanation if you see an R-7 function. I'm still unsure of your point. Yes, later developments of the R-7 had an upper stage (and even several) after the core burned out. The original, and the ...

The way the payload is fared back into the second stage and the exposed tips of the strapons But.. it's not? Faired back into the second stage, I mean. The core booster burns from launch to orbit, just like the R-7. The fairing is the nose cone and thats it. I'll take a look at the booster tips ...

Now this I know! The R-6 will have sever vibration problems at launch. That payload as fared will oscillate as an inverted pendulum. Why will it suffer vibration issues? It's not exactly subtly a knock-off of the R-7. And only the upper cone of the supper section is fairing, the rest is, as with ...

And... updated:

I'm really uncertain on the guidance fins on the big Aggregat rocket. I might edit them at some point. Otherwise, details added, shading done, I acknowledged the american urge to put their name on everything...

Quite assuredly

So, I'm writing this series of novella's for release and as part of it I'm producing pixel art drawings of various involved vehicles. So, here you go, the three rockets seen in the first novella that should be out in the next month or so.
