Hi folks,
After doing some easy builds (a family of Icarus scales, currently in filler primer stage), I decided to plan my next significant build.
This one takes me back to age ~15. It was 1982. Things were changing around me. Previously unfelt passions were stirring. Childhood flighty infatuations were fading away, to be replaced by serious love. I remember her like it was yesterday.
How I longed for her graceful curves. I wanted to touch her. I would lay there in my room with the magazine, fantasizing about her picture and what I'd do with her, saying her name over and over as if that would make my dreams of having her come true... Cassiopeia, Cassiopeia...
To be specific, Estes 1369 S.S. Cassiopeia:
I never obtained her. But the power of a childhood love can carry into adulthood. Now, I will have her for my very own.
I've got the plans from JimZ and am figuring out what bits and pieces I need. SEMROC has most everything. But I'm trying to use up parts from my existing stash to the extent possible.
To be continued over time...
