Chris,
Looks good. The SRB details are great. Less so for the core and
Dyna-Soar itself but you say there is more to be done...
On the scene:
- Is the booster separation too high ? Seems like the scene is close to
(or beyond) low orbit and those boosters don't ride that high. In fact
even the first stage would probably have separated already.
- The ocean surface is artistic but the surface variation seems far too
large from that altitude.
- There were many variations on the Dyna-Soar design and launch
configuration. Yours seems to be without the turned up wing tips that
I've always seen:

- Also that generator pod (?) on the SRB is on the opposite side in
every Titan-III derived configuration that I see.
Those comments aside, I like the scene and the realistic modelling of
what might have been done.
Cheers.
