Here is a model of the rocket of Tintin, the universally known journalist.
If you come to Brussels, look at sometimes in the sky, perhaps you'll see it.

For sure you now the front part of that huge building.
Think you have SketchUp "homework".. (without compromise... )

Caramba , of course I know this building but usually I see it from the ground
and your image is out of his context . . . but ok, I have no excuse.
In Belgium we name this building “le caprice des dieux” (the whim of the gods) because it look like a well know cheese in Europe and also because it cost a lot of money to the people of Brussels.
So I’ll try to do my homework but at first I must find the plans and some technical data and this it not so easy, I like to make model with a max of accuracy.
For example the rocket is exactly the same in dimensions, speed and even colors of witch one Tintin, capitain Haddock and their friends left on the moon . . . yes yes I guaranteed it to you .

Gerard....are you sure you want to do that building....think in your wife, children...they are going to miss you too much...

Oh, sorry, it´s too late now, get divorced..I want to see that model....!!

Hey, tell Tintin, if you see him, that his spaceship it´s going to be included in the Space NL.. (I don´t think I have to ask him for permit, do I?)

About the "caprice des dieux" you maybe need to wait a bit until I find some data
About 3D Space Models NL Tintin would be very honoured to appear in it
