Anyone build one of the Altaira Vger rockets?

I was browsing Erockets today, and stumbled across this rocket from Altaira: the Vger from the first Star Trek movie.

Has anyone built this thing? I couldn't find any other info about it on the Net. Its really neat looking, though as I don't have any certifications, I doubt I could buy the G or H motor it requires.

Altaira Rocketry also makes the Soviet era N-1, but I can't find any more info either. They don't seem to have a website. Someone should get it and do a build thread. Seems like it uses different building techniques.

aerostadt did a built thread on the N1.
Haven't seen one yet on the Vger.

Most Aerotech 29mm G motors do not require certification to purchase.
Exception is the high power 29mm Gs, just a couple that I know of.

The build thread for the Altaira N-1 is here. It is still listed for sale by Apogee.

Kuririn has a build thread for the N-1 from a new manufacturer. The Altaira N-1 build is a very difficult challenge. The Vger looks very unusual, which is typical of the Altaira models. There is a build thread somewhere on TRF for the Altaira Friede model rocket kit.
