Dad: What are you doing in there? Me: Soaking my decals! Just a minute!Suuuuurrre.
cool thanks for the rocksim file, all I can reasonably fly in these days are small fields so 13mm capable is great.
Marc, just an idea but might give you a cool picture, especially with that paint job.
Set the rocket up on a stick (like a dowel inside a spent engine casing.) Paint the stick flat black.
On a clear moonless night, prop the rocket up so you can focus your camera slightly upward at it, so that the background is sky (or at least no background light and no background objects that will pick up the flash.)
Set up your camera with flash and a tripod, preferably with a time.
Take a flash picture of the rocket with the sky in the background.
If it works, you get a flash picture of your rocket with a jet black background, since there is nothing behind the rocket to reflect the flash.
Key is a motionless rocket and a fixed camera--- doesn't come out nearly as well if you try to hold the camera in one hand and rocket on a stick in the other.
My wife, upon hearing a rhythmic sound coming from me in the basement: "What are you doing down there?"
Me: "Polishing my cone."
Wife: "Oh, that's what they call it these days..."
Sorry guys, haven't had time to post about the downscale build. Busy work week and such. But the build is more or less done. I will catch up with pics soon.
Recommendation taken.I recommend this model to anyone interested in scifi style rockets.
Drop just one letter, the r in spray, it we'd have a totally different topic here which would then make finishing the downscale in to a mad scientist thing.I've finished the downscale, except for clear coat. I'll get a picture once I spray her.
