I haven't seen anyone post anything about this yet, but there is a really good ASSET model in the Edward J. Peterson Air and Space Museum at Peterson Space Force Base. Unfortunately I moved away last year and these are the only two good pictures I got, and I'm kicking myself that I didn't get more. If anyone lives near Colorado Springs and has base access, the museum is free and I would definitely recommend checking it out.

I know I'm almost 18 years late, but anyone can feel free to use these if they want.

Cool, it look like a sort of engineering mockup...
 
There is a graphic, in low-res, that shows many different US reentry vehicle shapes, including the test shapes. A lot of things were tested. Lots. I dunno where my image file is, but the image has circulated.
