Congratulations SpaceX!!...And Goodby Mercury Redstone

We just had a successfull liftoff of SpaceX DM-1 from Launch Complex 39-A. The Dragon capsule will perform an autonom docking tomorrow. On future Missions, it will be one of the vehicles to carry Astronauts to the ISS. My project here liftet of, but it seems like it just did a short suborbital hop, like the real Redstone. Thank you everybody, who supported this project and my old one, the A-4 sounding rocket. It's nice to see that it got so far. Thanks!

Instructions?

Because my Project will be expired soon [yes I still have 64 days, but I don't think this will be enough to get the 1000. You can try it of course, I would be happy! :) ] I would like to know, how many people would be interested in the instructions of the Redstone-Booster. I will see if I load them up as another update. I'm doing some rework on the Mercury capsule at the Moment, so I will give it up an own project soon, maybe after this is expired. So please say in the comments, if you're interested in the instructions.

Service lifting platform

The rocket is finished but there are still some last damages. So lets enter the lifting platform and repair them.

P.S: Don't wonder if this vehicle don't looks like it could drive very good. This is true. But as you can see on the real picture, it hadn't to drive so far.
