If there already is a gallery for the Expedition, please merge this with it. Just finished the Expedition. lots of steps in the process, and lots of CWF to hide the joints on the tapered tubes. Overall a fun build. Before: And After:

Rocketarium Jayhawk: Nice Kit, All of the plastic parts are 3d printed, except for the nose cone.

I will start this with the 13mm Trident, but all of the different sizes of Tridents are welcome. The Decals were on a white background, so I used automotive pinstriping tape instead for the stripes and fin. Fun Build.

This one was so cool that I actually paid full price for it! The kit comes with almost everything that you need to build it, including sandpaper and Q-tips for spreading glue inside the tubes. it was a lot of fun to build. I will be looking for more of the New Way kits.

First the details on the really short flight. LOC-IV Mini (1" diameter), using an 1/2 A6-2, that was old-er. I originally thought that it was a Heavy rocket with a weak motor, however reviewing the video frame by frame, this pops up for only one frame. Nice little fireball there. :eek...

This was one of those older designs that I always thought was really cool, and finally I got around to building it. The plans are on here: https://www.spacemodeling.org/jimz/eirp/dom0382.pdf Since this was a Design of the Month, there were no decals or paint scheme to follow so I was on my...

Picked this up at the Local Hobbby Lobby in the clearance aisle The clearance tag is 39 cents. That is probably the lowest price I have ever paid for rocket motors.

It's that time again. Hobby Lobby has some "D's" (for discontinued) marked on the Estes rockets that they carry. The ones that are at my store are: Expedition Sky warrior Super nova Goblin These are typically removed and placed in the clearance section over the next month or two at 40% off...

Yep that dreaded day is coming, we are starting to pack the house and get ready to move. So are there any tips on how to move over 100 built LPR rockets and a bunch of kits without getting them destroyed in the process? Thanks Goose

I picked up an old FSI Orbit Model rocket kit in the bargain bin the other day, and unfortunately all of the body tubes are crushed :sad: It does have a really nice transition that appears to be basswood, since it is much denser than balsa, and with that I have come up with the following...
