build

Hello, I am looking for a professional that can help me with some guidance, tips and tutorials while I start my first high power rocket build. I am willing to pay per hour or lessons (or whatever you prefer). If you are interested, please message me or email me. Thanks. **If this is not...

Welcome to my ambitious build! A little backstory: My name is Caden, I'm 18 years old and this is my first year in HPR. I've recently completed my level 2 certification and ever since I've been anxious to move onto something bigger and better (I know I'm another hot shot young guy). Below are...

How did I get here? It's all Nytrunner's fault. And maybe Steven's, a little. I'm not normally a scale modeler. Although I admire a lot of the typical scale modeling subjects, I've never had the slightest interest in building any of them. Then Nytrunner mentioned his interest in this missile...

Greetings. This is a build of the Accur8 (aka John Pursley) Indigo Ragnarok Orbital Interceptor. John calls it a "short kit" which basically means it's a kitbash, in this case of the Estes Cosmic Interceptor. Here is what the finished model is supposed to look like: I say "supposed to"...

K'Tesh mentioned upscaling a Quinstar. I thought "ha ha that's crazy" but the idea seems to have wedged itself in my brain. It is highly unlikely I'd ever actually do this but it's fun to consider anyway. I would design it for 29mm black powder motors, probably with a BT60 body tube, which...

OK, let's get this party started. Background (even though no one cares) First time I laid eyes on Gary Byrum's (first) APRO Lander I fell in love with the design, and decided to build my own version of it, despite my trepidation at dealing with those gigantic transitions (prior to this build I...

Contents This thread started as a design exploration, but evolved into a real build. For those who want to skip the preliminaries, here's where things happen: Design exploration starts here (this post) Build preparation officially started at post 91 (although I also did some fabrication...

Time to get this build thread started. I debated whether to post it in the LPR or the Scratch Built forums: I think there's more participation in the LPR forum (it's just generally busier there), but I've decided give this one a shot here and see how it goes. I'm hoping I'll get this build...

While the finishing job on the Diamond Cutter plods towards completion, I wanted to get something else accomplished. So I pulled out one of my Black Friday purchases: the Odd'l Cyclone, which I thought was perfect for winter because no painting. Woohoo! I also decided recently that I need a...

And so I finally pulled this one out of the virtual build pile, the most overthought design in (my) history. Actually it's my first scratch build ever, hence the excessive head-scratching and hand-wringing. I'm not used to thinking about some of these things, and it hurts my brain. In a good...

Not counting a pair of E2X models I recently built with my daughter, this will be my first real build since the 70's. I like the Solar Warrior design a lot, and it seems just about right for my return to the hobby. I haven't seen much written about it so far, so I presume it's a fairly recent...
