TLP Winter builds starting to pile up!!

Like the snow around here, my winter builds are starting to pile up.

As soon as the paint and body shop thaw out, I can get to finishing these guys.

From L to R:

TLP Indigo, PAC-3, Hawk 23, and Harpoon.

All have Estes 24mm retainers and Semroc baffles.











C'mon Spring!!

Get some heat in the paint booth! TLP kits need to fly and be free!

NICE!!!!!

THX all!!

I am really diggin' these TLP kits.

Just challenging enough for my skills and very rewarding to build.

If you have not tried one, get one. You will be pleased.

Cheers!!

OK,

Got the Indigo done and added a Martel.

Hawk is nearly done and will post pix of that soon....














Cheers!!

Ooops!!

Forgot the Harpoon...

Beautiful!!!!:clap:

Very nice work

Bumpin' this Thread because it is full of TLP greatness, and inspired me to build their Indigo.

WOW! Those are some truly awesome looking rockets. I especially like the Indigo. Think I need to build one...

Have you painted the PAC-3?

Nice work here!
The finish you got sparkles too!

THX all!!

Family issues have kept me out of rockets for awhile.

Here are some shots of the finished Hawk and PAC3 (PAC3 still needs clear).

Graphics are from Mark at Stickershock on the PAC3.



















Cheers!!

Marwady those look great!!!

Topramen,

Yes, I did fly the Indigo.

Kind of squirrelly , added a bit more nose weight but have not tried it yet.

Best, M

Awesome.
Good to hear it.
I posted here, but then saw in the other thread that you had flown it, so I deleted this threads post.
Mine loved the E20-4 almost too much, and went much higher than OR said it would, and total flight time was 6 seconds longer that OR predicted, even though I flew in windless conditions, so there was little drift.
