Default Nike Hercules

Here goes!

I'm starting the "development" of a Nike Hercules.

I've redrawn and rescaled some drawings to come as close as i could to using estandard sized tubes.

What i came up with is a BT-70 sized sustainer main body and a booster using 4 BT-55's. The overall length of this "scale" works out to 36.35" long.

Now that is conciderably shorter than the 54" length of the TLP Nike Ajax but I'm trying to propotion this thing as accurately as I can.

Not exactly a kit but I want to see if I can make the parts for a reasonable sized model.

I will make the parts and patterns avilable to others.

The model will use 4 D12 motors in the booster.

I have dxf and dwg drawings if any of you guys have a CAD reader.
