    Dude, that's not fair - you can't post pic's of something like that without details! Is it somehow staged? how does it eject? what is the midsection made of, and how did you build it? Crazy cool design!

    I'm by no means the boss here, however, I would suggest moving to the scratch build forum.

    Hornet driver your right, a lot of dreaming, trile and error, and work. I started dreaming this one up on a 14 hour trip to see my son in North Carolina about a year ago. The first thing I worked on was the rear ejection, I had just gotten back into rocketry and had never built one before. So I built I think 3 different small rockets to work just on the rear ejection part of the build. Then came the mid frame work, I spent couple of trips to the hobby shops just looking for what I could use and might hold up. I had planned on putting some kind of tanks inside the mid frame but gave up on that. The nose cone started with some pictures I found on the internet of futuristic ships and then grow as I worked on it. After all the parts were put together I spent a good bit of time working on decals, I am happy with the way they came out. I really like building rockets, I think probably more than flying them. I am putting together a build thread in the scratch rockets forum and I have a few pictures. I wish I would have taken more but I would get into building and forget about taking them.
