Posting a couple "fresh paint" rockets I just finished. Nothing really unique about them - pretty much standard builds for the most part. I was in a flourescent mood, hence the bright colors.

First up is "Even Gene" (the orange/red one). This is essentially a kit bashed Wildchild, converted to dual deploy and with some reworked fin shapes. Specs:
- 38mm glass airframe, glass NC (Shockwave I think), glass fins.
- 29mm motor mount w/Aeropac retainer
- Dual deploy using a Featherweight 38mm AV bay, and a Raven2
- 36" long, 21oz./594g dry weight (everything but the motor)

The other (green one) is "Duwahn Vare". Completely scratch. I've actually flown this a few times already naked - even did a repair or two along the way. But it had to be painted/finished sometime so I finally got it done just now. Specs:
- 54mm BlueTube airframe, plastic NC (Giant Leap), glass fins, plastic tailcone (PML).
- 29mm motor mount w/Slimline retainer
- Dual deploy using "standard" AV bay (8" BlueTube coupler and glass sled), and an Adept 22.
- 50" long, 42oz./1200g dry weight (yes this thing is a tank!)

I'll put up a video shortly.

S6, I'm glad you could make it out for the launch. Must be a long drive!
