I haven’t posted for a few days because life’s little interruptions happen. So far it’s been that way. I have been working on Mary’s birthday present that has to be finished today. Tomorrow is her birthday.
Aside from that and visits to the dentist again I have been sneaking in a moment here and there on the latest rocket kits and in the evening working on editing our film.
The Mercury Redstone kit I have been sorting out the size of the body tube and how to go about molding the parts later this week.
As you can see the red capsule is the smaller Estes model and the larger white one is our new larger model to be.
The SNG Aero has been painted and ready for flight testing on the 11th of March at our next launch. Just a basic paint job for testing. I have yet to come up with a nice graphic for the model.
And I’m also working on yet another kit of a large 4 inch diameter V-2 rocket for low to mid power.
Last weekend I made this slot car from for a Dan Gurney Eagle Indy racer. The car runs so smoothly and quietly. One of my best cars and I built the frame from scratch. Seen alongside a finished Ostorero Indy Lotus. The tires and wheels are temporary. My new parts for this car will arrive tomorrow.
Back to Battlestar Galactica Thursday and from then on through next week it looks like I’ll be working on the model a lot more and getting video.
This week is the last week of being 70. Sunday I’ll be 71 and I’m going flying!
