When I decided to participate to this contest I initially thought of building a tower in some style.

However when i was deciding how it was supposed to turn out an idea struck me: what if I built a rocket?

After all, rocket are thin and tall, so you can fit one in a single chunk, right?


My first step was to change the base into a proper launchpad, as I don't think
that a rocket scientist would let a tree stand where the rocket will be launched.

Of course I didn't break the bedrock layer, as it is forbidden by the contest rules.

Then I built the base of the rocket, colouring it in orange, with the intention of later adding four white boosters, one in each corner.

After I finished detailing the main rocket, I realized that two of its sides didn't have that many details, so i decided to put the boosters on each of the two sides instead of in each corner.

For a finishing touch, i added flames burning out of the engines and smoke.

What do you think about my first attempt at building a space vehicle?

I did my best.

Enjoy!
