I bought a 6" dia version built by another gentleman who was getting out of the hobby. I haven't had the chance to fly it yet, but plan to, maybe at LDRS. I really like that retro sci-fi style.
The pic shows the 3 I bought from him. Very well made. They have flown, I just didn't see it... but I will!!

Nice project! MarsLander’s version…
PML made it in 2 sizes many years ago. They were known for breaking off the pods with every flight, so give some attention to how the pods are secured.
Very nice . Like the decals. Fine job.
Pods made. Grooves made with router bit in Dremel.
Test fit
Final fin shaping.
Progress report
Next step is fillets.
Open Rocket predicts
38oz with motor. Currently at 18.8 oz w/o motor. 37" overall. Still needs launch lug, fillets, parachute, and nose weight. Will spin test with 0 weight soon.

Nice looking rocket.
Thanks
Fillets done. Needs some light sanding and then paint. Installed parachute and 4 oz nose weight for spin test. Need to decide on a motor and add that weight.
Second spin test. G77 motor installed. No additional nose weight. Looks good.
