I am going to try a build thread now, and see how this project goes. I am building a SpaceX Falcon 9 with Dragon beginning with some 3D printed parts from Shapeways and a bunch of plastic tubes and strips. I hope it works. First, the parts. There are 4 main parts that were printed for me. Engine ClusterBottom of First StageEngine fairings Dragon with nosecone and heat shield. I also need an 1" diameter plastic tube.

Here is a finished Dragon. I put a magnet inside the heat shield so I can attach the trunk when I build that.
