SCALE - Bullpup (AGM 12) Gallery

Nice Job! Glad I could help. Looks great. Get launch pic's.

Thanks.
I'll sure try to get pics. Its maiden flight is scheduled for Saturday, on a C6-5. :fly:

The flight went well, even though I forgot to thread the rod through the top launch lug. :bangpan: Fortunately, it did fine with just the lower lug. A little bit of wobble on the way up, but straight enough.
Here's a lift-off shot. It was gone in the next frame. :eyepop:

Nice job!

Looks better than any of the Bullpups I built!

Thanks! I spent about twice as much time as I usually do sanding this one, since it was my first non-cardstock scale model. It did turn out better than I expected, but I have vowed that I will never, ever fill spirals again...

This is a "Bull Puppy" from PML that I bought from a fellow here a couple months back. It was partially started, and what was done was done well. This is the first scale kit that I haven't done something stupid to. Glad I got that out of my system, now where's that V2?

Pole Cat Aerospace 4" Bull Pup kit. This was my first kit build. The kit is very nice and easy to build. Just wish it came with a parachute like so many other kits do.

First rocket build in 20 years. Estes kit. I added a motor hook because...really, friction fit on this?

Awesome job! I'm building one right now and was wondering if you used the ca glue on the shroud and tail cone as it said in the instructions? I want to make sure those are both smooth when all is said and done. I also would like to know the process you did when you did your nose cone? I want it smooth and flush. Thanks oh and the decals who? How? Where?

This post above was meant for the two who did the TLP bull pup 12c.

Anyone please feel free to reply.

My Estes Bullpup AGM 12B.

...upscale (BT-80) with my son at a recent launch

Just finished my Estes Bull Pup 12D clone. Finish and decals leave a bit to be desired, but my nose cone payload bay and motor screw-on retainer integrated into the boat tail turned out well.

Between this thread and info posted in the Scale Data Estes BullPup 12D thread, I think I could probably do a halfway okay Bull Pup 12B build, but I haven't found anything quantitative regarding dimensions on the 12D. In particular, how much bigger diameter is it actually, what does the tail cone look like (i.e., is it the same as the 12B), etc? None of the handful of photos of actual 12Ds that I can find are of adequate quality to even make guesses or reasonable approximations of answers to those basic questions.

The only thing I'm sure of is that the Estes kit is basically "a rocket with a transition we had in inventory used as a tailcone and a nose cone we had and decals that look kinda okay." It's only kinda sorta scale if you squint from really, really far away.

Anyone know where to find more & better info?

@James Duffy because you are the guru of scale
@PeterAlway because, duh
