it seems to me that if a thread is hot i can not tell if there are unread posts in it. Or is there actually a color difference that I just can not see?

Love the new site btw. :) Keep up the...

Another list by someone with a different opinion

Cool list. Certainly a few i would add and a few i would move around but a good list. I might even try to build the Thunderbird 3 ship . Oh and Close Encounters Mothership took 34th. :)

I am not certain but i think this may be doing the same thing on the full web site. I have to run and can not check further. hopefully it is just my tired eyes today.

Lookin good so far. Makes me want to dig out another TLP kit of my own. I still need to fly the first few but who says I can't work on one while I wait. Posts and threads like these sure help.

I got curious about this missile and went looking for some pics of it. Here they are if anyone is interested.

Those look very cool. I picked up a lathe about 2 weeks ago and have been having a blast!. I have not done a tail cone yet but have been thinking of the same problem. I don't have a drill press...

Happy Easter. The sun is out! Now if I can just get the wind to die down. My rockets may not go sideways today :)

Hoppy Easter

I have been using peg board. (the fiber board with all the holes in it.) and sections of half inch dowel screwed through the holes via 1.5 inch sheet rock screws. This gives me a shelf of highly...

Thanks for the great tips. The nose cones are basswood and one is some hard wood poplar maybe. Just stuff I had lying around to practice with. And yes Sharpening the tools that came with it...

That is very cool. I have had a chance to work with dinosaur fossils in the past, I even had a dolphin skull concretion (x-rays were awesome ) But never an egg. That is very very cool! Please...

The girl wanted a bunch of custom cones and tubes for her custom rockets. I want what she wants.. So I used it as an excuse to keep an eye out for more tools. I found a barely used Delta Lathe on...

At least that is what it claims to be. Anyway, I found it interesting. have a look.

Coots don't taste too good I'm told. But if you are up for some challenging culinary experiment then... Well I still wouldn't eat it. :).

Funny birds. Hope it does well

Welcome from another Oregonian. This is a good place to be. I have not gotten into the HPR scene yet but I can feel the bug approaching. I keep making bigger and bigger rockets and scratch builds....

I Finally finished my first scale missile. A TLP Bullpup 12C. I learned a lot on this build and am ready for more. :) I think it turned out great.

thank you for the comments and feedback. I may get to like this building without a kit or instructions. Who knows, soon I may even be brave enough to tackle my flis kit decim8 (of course i'm...

I have the scimitar and a rocksim of it showing a Cp of 28.64. Mine hasnt flown yet, still painting it, so I cannot comment on flight.

Nothing special. I built it out of left over parts from my upscale Black max. (technically a custom but not really ) So I have my first True (to me) custom rocket. I spent some time (until 3 in the...

I had to have some of stickershocks new Der max decals. And couldn't do them both standard size. So I build my first Upscale for my first vinyl. I love this vinyl stuff I may have to get a lot...

The wooden rocket birdhouses can be found at Michaels craft stores.

I tend to be cautious on this. i have had many students get the nose cone stuck into the body tube after painting. of course they also use way too much paint.
so on my rockets that I want the...

I just ordered a 5:1 2.6" ogive from aerotech. I haven't received it yet to comment on actual measurements.

One of my favorite "pocket demos" I would have families and classes guess where the moon would be at globe scale and then use 10 earth circumferences (rough scale) to walk the distance out. They...

I tend to get my fiberglass and carbon from TAP plastic. But they are a local west coast dealer. I pick mine up but Shipping should be very reasonable.
