That is a great interpretation, Micro! Kudos!!

Lemme think on that one a bit.

NO! :neener:

Ask and ye shall receive.

UBER-awesome!

IF I have a Stingray...:eyeroll:

Old age I know...I know...

Thanks, Micro. I was pleased with how well the decals went with the color I chose. I hadn't even discovered the decals until after it was painted.

I got to get a better camera. My phone just...

Oh so that's what they're supposed to look like! :-)

Nicely finished, both of them. I'm trying to figure out the balance between balsa filler and performance. My two existing micros don't have much filling done, so the grain is fairly obvious. Look...

She was hiding because it wasn't one of HER rockets getting ready to go up! She couldn't vouch for the craftmanship! :)

Umm...im not sure if i should be offended or not! :p

More Stinger photos. This time in almost in focus.

Its quite funny when you get the 12 yr old attitude at 6. At least to outsiders! :)

Yeah but what COLOR are you going to paint it. And what brand of paint? I would like to buy some futures in paint tint.

Prophecy with Christopher Walken

Ok just about anything with Christopher Walken

Here you go! The Dragon_rider10 inspired Stinger. More photos to come. I would have flown this Saturday but I forgot my MMX launch rod! :bang:

Thanks, Jim! It has taken a totally different turn from what i first envisioned. Originally I was thinking the white under-body area with a checkered flag motif...but then I found something I...

Here we go with the first few painting steps...

Basecoat of Gloss white. I wish I had dulled this or used flat, but its what i had at the time.

Scotty Dog,

Thank you for the encouragement!

Sometimes my shine needs a little wax removal! I realized after the fact my response might be taken as curt, which is was not intended to be.

Verrry interesting... Saw a small dragster kit that might work at the LHS today...


On with my build, which may or may not incorporate some of your themes....

Thanks Roger! That's me in the hat, by the way. Video

Never one to leave well enough alone...

I brainstormed while whittling away at the shroud of my Stinger kit how I might make this one a little different. I didn't want to go for a military feel,...

I'm not quite certain what I'm talking about...but wait till you see what I'm building! :D

FYI, tried to order some of these today but got a call later that they've sold out of the MMX engines.

Perhaps a better description of my concept is a Space version of an Air-Race plane, like they used to do in the 50s. I believe the secret will be found in the Pinecar Derby section of HobLob. :cool:

I saw it a few weeks ago (when it came out, day or so after). If anyone doesn't know, I'm a transformers junkie. I have had collections of these robots in the hundreds (i'm currently liquidating...

Now how do you know that?! :)

I've been thinking about what to do with that one. I've already got the upscale alien vehicle of death so I'm thinking about a theme that's more benign. A space...

I know there's already one of these threads...but it's my first true MMX so I am proud of it.

I wanted to try to do something different with my little Dead Ringer and the open area of the fins was...

Awesome thanks, Chris. I need to figure out where I hid all those cardstock plans you sent. I want to make a Goonie.

I can't help but notice that this thread about getting started in MMX is...

Thanks guys, now what was the trick to the igniters? Just a toothpick to hold them in? I remember some doohickey to hold the igniter, where you lower the rocket onto the igniter...
