I don't know, this looks a more "post-modern/minimalist" than "steampunk" to me.

It is going to be interesting when the Venusians go into orbit around Uranus.The health of the BAINBRIDGE crew continued to decline and other people began to show symptoms of this strange disease.This was becoming a full blown epidemic . Back on Venus, the Venerians were becoming ill for no apparent reason. On Earth the scientist finally determined that the crew had contracted diseases that the Venerians had long since become immune to. They managed to find cures for some and treatments for most. The news of these Venerial diseases reached Venus and in a politically savvy move , asked that they be called Venusians, distancing themselves from the problem.In later years this would be called one of the finest political damage control moves ever made. The Venusians were experiencing their own epidemic of sorts. It seems they were allergic to the flowers they loved so much(which by the way , were taking over the planet) . Earth sent the needed medication to relieve the symptoms . The original crew of the BAINBRIDGE disappeared from the public eye, never to be seen again.Rumors floated about for years, saying that they had returned to Venus and their ailments vanished. It also seems the commander brought a chemical herbicide to Venus and helped to stem the tide( no pun intended) of the invading flowers. In the end , the pharmaceutical industries on both planets saw great profits and were able to influence their respective governments for decades to follow. Sadly the BAINBRIDGE, to this day, is in some corners referred to as the "painbridge"
And that is the perfect name for it. "On pad 420 we have, Spaced Out Crazy Train Steam Punk Rocket. Lots of 29mm BP motors. 2 stages. Should make for a great show, going in 5,4,....."A spaced out crazy train steam punk rocket. Lots of 29mm BP motors. 2 stages.
Looking good. I have the same "egg". Ive had it for years. Wife wants me to make an M&M themed rocket out of it. Funny how I cant build on demand.:lol:I also wanted to put some fairings over the front of the cut outs. I'm going for a sort of stream liner look--sort of--. Card stock ended up being the ticket for this---literally card stock--I used some old unsent Christmas cards. At first I tried this with some 1/32 balsa but It was way to delicate----View attachment 255708--I tacked these on with yellow glue and will go back later with epoxy. ---View attachment 255709---While all this was going on I decided to profile the nose. The paper pot was glued to the bt--I have a couple of options for the tip---I like the clear tip but the green one has a more locomotive look about it---View attachment 255711View attachment 255712View attachment 255713. more to come. I MIGHT brave the cold tomorrow and sand down the rings and get the mmt fitted --we'll see----H
