The Whaleback figure has a fully equipped bridge with a helm coordinated with the rudder, an engine telegraph with operating command handle and response pointer, and a binnacle with gimbal-mounted compass that responds to ship motion.

The concept I had for the Whaleback Ship figure was easy configurability. There would be an easy way to change the hull size
or the hull length

Here are a few renders showing the still untextured included props, the Transtage and glider/stage adapters:
This shows the basic adapter that includes a solid rocket engine for launch abort. This engine could also serve for a back-up de-orbit burn.

Here's a partially textured render. The X-20 would have had a heat shield over the front windows. In a test run, pilot Neil Armstrong (who also flew the X-15) verified that the glider could be landed safely even if the shield failed to jettison.

Nearly finished with rigging, but some props still in work, and of course no texturing yet. Here are a couple of renders of the glider about to touch down:

I had some trouble with the main landing gear, but now have it rigged. It's mechanism is very similar to the nose gear, but its movement is a little different. Here's a cartoon view.

I've been working out the rigging for the skid landing gear. Here's a GIF of the nose gear test. (It was an animation but only the last frame shows.)

Here are some renders of the cockpit and instrumentation. The controls and ejection seat will be rigged.

The Dyna-Soar orbital missions would have used the Air Force Transtage for orbital maneuvering. Here's are early renderings of the Transtage:

The X-20 would have likely had opening cargo bay doors for some of its military missions. The Poser model will include a speculative bay-mounted camera assembly for reconnaissance missions.

Still building up the cockpit. There are several photos and some blueprints, but the blueprints are mostly illegible for details. so I'll be depending on my imagination a lot.
