For example.... on the critical pointed nose cone, what do you envision as the type of texture/artwork that goes on it? If it's not too intricate (e.g., a solidcolor and no lettering) you could take a screen shot of the circle that describes the nose cone from the Top view and texture it that way. The Texture Coordinate Editor is very powerful (and easier to use than anything you'll find in any other 3D program, even ones that cost a LOT more), and will allow you a lot of flexibility when you actually start cinching up your texturing.

you are quite right about the nose cone, I'm not worried about that at all. its the windows, the doors, the rivets, and the "buzz lightyear!!!" with a lightening bolt that spans 3 or 4 of the conic sections and takes up 6 of the 24 segments of a conic section that is my problem.
I think the answer is in the "4 view"/ "peeled banana" view you made of my rocket. BTW, how did you get that view?
