thank you, I see what I can do about the thruster ball detail. As for the nose cone that make perfect sence, I should be able to rearrange it with out a problem.
The rocket is the most difficult part it took me two trys before I got the mock-up to look right. what I am planning on doing for the final version is to take a dowel and use it as the center support, drilling holes through the top and bottom disks for each section and gluing them to the dowel first. Then wrapping the outer skin around the whole mess. this should help keep everything straight.
Like you said kinda hard with out pictures to show.
