it seems to me that if a thread is hot i can not tell if there are unread posts in it. Or is there actually a color difference that I just can not see? Love the new site btw. :) Keep up the good work. Just trying to find my way around. -Z

Another list by someone with a different opinion https://www.ugo.com/movies/100-best-movie-spaceships

Cool list. Certainly a few i would add and a few i would move around but a good list. I might even try to build the Thunderbird 3 ship . Oh and Close Encounters Mothership took 34th. :) -Z

I am not certain but i think this may be doing the same thing on the full web site. I have to run and can not check further. hopefully it is just my tired eyes today. -Z

Lookin good so far. Makes me want to dig out another TLP kit of my own. I still need to fly the first few but who says I can't work on one while I wait. Posts and threads like these sure help. -Z

I got curious about this missile and went looking for some pics of it. Here they are if anyone is interested. -Z

Those look very cool. I picked up a lathe about 2 weeks ago and have been having a blast!. I have not done a tail cone yet but have been thinking of the same problem. I don't have a drill press yet. but have seen people use the lathe tail stock to hold the drill bit and feed it into the...

Hoppy Easter

I have been using peg board. (the fiber board with all the holes in it.) and sections of half inch dowel screwed through the holes via 1.5 inch sheet rock screws. This gives me a shelf of highly customizable pegs to stand my rockets on. It is especially useful for those rockets that won't...

Thanks for the great tips. The nose cones are basswood and one is some hard wood poplar maybe. Just stuff I had lying around to practice with. And yes Sharpening the tools that came with it helped and after a bit of trepidation I moved the belt up to it's highest speed and was surprised to...

That is very cool. I have had a chance to work with dinosaur fossils in the past, I even had a dolphin skull concretion (x-rays were awesome ) But never an egg. That is very very cool! Please post the X-rays when you get them. -Z

The girl wanted a bunch of custom cones and tubes for her custom rockets. I want what she wants.. So I used it as an excuse to keep an eye out for more tools. I found a barely used Delta Lathe on craigs list. After a two day hassle to meet up with the seller. I have a new tow at a quarter the...

Coots don't taste too good I'm told. But if you are up for some challenging culinary experiment then... Well I still wouldn't eat it. :). Funny birds. Hope it does well -z

Welcome from another Oregonian. This is a good place to be. I have not gotten into the HPR scene yet but I can feel the bug approaching. I keep making bigger and bigger rockets and scratch builds. now I have a few I can not fly in my local field. Hopefully I will see you out in the desert...
