It looks like you're making the early version which tbh is fine, gives us a little more flexibility for factions and theatres etc. Could you post the latest wip?

I think the UV is fine, but might be a bit too tightly packed. Specially when the mipmap versions are generated you might get some slightly bad results.

indeed some are generated like objects that are a bit difficult but not all of them. I use the tool to pack everything so it's a bit messy but fully packed.
ok then i'll add space for the uv so it's not too tight
thanks for the suggestion.

Can you post more pictures of styrofoam covers? In your first post the one on the rear does look too big.
Also the covers are not 100% round, but have a flat spot on top

Here they rest on that flat spot:

Here you can see it on rear one:

It is closed until missile is fired. The missile ignition destroys the middle part. In 1p this wont matter as you never see the rear, but in 3p would be good to add the middle part.
