Google "Lamp Shades" maybe you will get lucky. There are an awful lot of them out there. You talking about for the RCS bells? I'm not sure there are lamp shades that are 1 3/8" in diameter. Automotive paint funnels. The ones used to pour the paint into the spray gun. not a bad idea, they cant be wax coated wax in a paint job would be a nightmare |

You could start with something like this and cut them down: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41YJKw-FOvL._AC_US160_.jpg They have them at Amazon, and probably a craft store like Michaels. 2" across at the open end. Those would work, but I think we will just make our own.  It's going well right now.

Can't the woodshop have some spun out on a lathe pretty quick for you? Or aren't they that far into their semester?

Using a 2.5" half circle of watercolor paper. Sprayed with a little water to form. 
A little hot glue..... 
A little paint and they should look pretty good. 
And the tiles begin again.

Update 11/3
Wing surface details started to get serious today. This guy had too much of finishing the wing edge today and went a bit off the side of the boat...... It probably had something to do with the spray foam. He ended up with some in his hair. He did however, finish the wing edge so details can begin on both wings. They were a bit goofy today. The gloves on his head are his used ones....including sticky foam. I chew them out for wasting rubber gloves. That is how he got foam in his hair. 
 
Edge clean up around the windows. 
Overzealous use of caulking.... 
OHSA approved vertical enhancement. 
Tile work coming along. 
More wing details being laid out and cut.

Is that a kid who had the nerve to express something that wasn't exuberant cheer at some earlier point in this project? And I gotta ask, why no numbers? You are going this far for thermal blankie texture, but some little numbers are over the top? Time to get a laser cut metal 10pt font stencil and have one of the less Team Players get going on the numbers with watered down paint. |

No, but that young man did work on the tiles by his own choice also. Like i said, they thought it was fun.
As to the numbers, it would be impossible, as small as they would need to be. |

I don't know if it is too late to add in but the star tracker doors are missing. They are the figure 8ish or peanut shaped indentations on the port side fwd of windows 2 and 3. The doors covered the star tracker cameras, one pointed strait up along the x axis and the other pointed strait out the port side or y axis. during orbit the vehicle would snap a picture out both cameras and compare the stars against maps loaded into the computer to determine location and vehicle flight orientation. Tile and blanket installation is looking good, realistic. |

My student who will be cutting those out wasn't here this morning. I've got one student I trust to lay out those kind of details, then cut into the skin to sculpt.

Well, I done messed up. 
I thought I checked twice at the direction that the tiles were supposed to go, but looking again today, we've got them going the wrong way. 
We were never going to get the pattern exact, as it is pretty complicated, but I thought we'd at least get most of the tiles going the correct way. Ugggg. It's too late to go back and start over, I'd lose the patience of my tilers. Dang. 
Pretty sure we won't survive re-entry now.

I have no clue what the second picture is showing, but I see it in the top photo. As far as the tiling goes, I think there's an easier way to go about it. A Roller thingy where the tiles would sit, which is then rolled through adhesive, and the tiles would then get rolled onto the wing in the right orientation and spacing. I'm wondering if the Students are going to actually make the thing correct now, both adding the Celestial Navigation, and doing the tiles correctly. Seems they are doing it the really slow way. Find the person who decided to start the tiles going the wrong direction, and it's his job to remove what is there, and start over correctly. Do they think they have some sort of union job or something? |

I've got it printed off all over the place, and still, I messed it up.
I was going to have them switch the pattern to the correct way on the other areas under the shuttle, but I may just have them continue as it is. It will look really messed up if we change it. As for the speed of this, the tiling is actually going pretty well, given the few students who've worked on it so far. I think when we get serious, we can cover ground quickly. The kids also like the way it looks, so that makes them want to do more. |

Hatch got more details finished. Tiles around it start tomorrow.

Update 11/8
Long day.... for many reasons.
Parent teacher conferences the last two nights, kids put an elk together today, the election, and it's only Tues.
Brass, thank you again! Coolest connector ever! This will really help us when we get to airbrushing. We are getting close to paint!
The week's Haiku.... 
We noticed that the blankets weren't the same on all the shuttles. We decided to go with something in the middle, as far as he pattern along the edges. 
These go under the cowlings. Lots of details left before they will be added in a relief. 
The beginning of Ikon.
Does the shuttle need rockets???
These will turn around and be cut down. Wait and see.

Update 11/9
Much easier day today. Elk looks good. Almost all the students were buzzing about the election. I try to stay away from political conversations, as I don't think it's my place, but I was asked probably 10 times today who I voted for, and mostly by girls.
I tried to brush off their questions, but I would always answer, "you know what I do in my free time. " Surprisingly, they were all excited that I had voted for Trump. Odd, and interesting.
Today, good details were coming along. This will be recessed in the panel. 
The front end is looking good. 
More bondo on the nose, and more sanding. 
Tomorrow I'm buying paint. White, satin is what I think we will start with as a base coat. May pick up a can of gray for the wing edges too. |

LH2 umbilical panel looking good there Guns! I was hoping you'd tell is what the proper name was.
And thank you, the student has been pretty dedicated to the details on it. Hes being more thorough than I would have been.
Any close ups of it would be appreciated if someone has them.

Any close ups of it would be appreciated if someone has them. I actually don't know what the panel is called on the orbiter. It's the connection points for the two T-0 umbilicals on the Mobile Launch Platform. One supplies LH2 and the other supplies LOX as well as electrical power. They detach and retract into the MLP immediately after the SRB's light. If you'd like you can read all about it here: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/20090033695.pdf Anyway, here are the best images I was able to find on the web. I'll dig through my books here and see if there's anything better in them. Port side is on the left and starboard side is on the right, bottom edge of the OMS pods are at top in both images: 
The original photos had some photo editing done to correct all the 90° angles to actually 90° and they came up with this: 
Original images at George's Rocketry Page. Here's a pretty good view of the port side plate: Original Hi-Res Image 
And a good shot of the starboard side: Original Hi-Res Image
