Aries Rocket Sketchup

Take a look at this rocket:

I am going to attempt to make the one on the right in Google Sketchup. Here we go!

I started with a circle and pushed it up into a cylinder.

To make the nose I made another circle on top of my cylinder with the offset tool. I made that into a smaller cylinder and then using the scale tool I made it into a cone.

Here's a little side rocket.

I remade the main rocket to better reflect the real thing.

Putting 3D text on the rocket that says "USA".

And some color! I copied the little rockets and pasted them over here. One thing I could not figure out was how to draw lines on a 3D surface such as the rocket. This prevented me from adding details like the flag or the black lines on the smaller rockets. Sadly this is still one of my better artistic renditions.
