M.O.B.

[Scotty Dog]

Been out of the game for some time.
Got the shed half cleaned out.
Sat down and decided to built a rocket to go with the engine mount I came up with yrs ago.
My old buddy Gary Byrum ( r.i.p.) saw this mount idea just before he left us.
Thought of him turning a cone at the time.
Anywhoo...life goes on for some of us.
BT 80.
BT 50 stuffer
50x60 rings with a short piece of 60.
Bamboo rods.
The fins are unbreakable counter top samples.
Razor thin and STRONG.
Heavy. ??? .its a trade off.
Haven't put a piece on the scale yet.
I know it works for this builds look.
Enjoy.

Hey, it's Scotty Dog!

[fyrwrxz]

Welcome back, dog!

 

[Blast it Tom!]

Welcome back! I'm a newbie (relatively), good to see and old hand show up again!

 

[Scotty Dog]

Reinforcing for attaching the thin fins.

 

[T-Rex]

Good to see you are still with us! Interesting and different.

 

[jqavins]

That's a cool look. I'm looking forward to seeing the paint job. No spoilers, please; I'll see it when it's done.

 

[Rktman]

Very cool conceptually. Not sure if you're going to enclose the area below the reinforcing rods or if you're going to enclose both the rods and the engine mount in a shroud/reducer, but it would be visually fascinating even if left open.

"Unbreakable counter top" seems like a challenge

"I'd buy that for a dollar!"

 

[Scotty Dog]

Pigmented the can.
Added some detail.
Cover plate with handel and fastener looking things.
Trying to make it look somewhat like a real missile.
Gons be a tank, but I was never about altitude n speed.
Fat- bottom, low n slow.

Open for sure.

A buck two ninety eight maybe.

 

[K'Tesh]

Welcome Back!!!

Every time I see that avatar, I think of this guy...

 

[BABAR]

I try to avoid launching rockets that cause reproductive harm, but maybe I’m just a wimp.

then again, while I wasn’t born in California, I did nursery school through high school there, so maybe that explains it.

 

[jqavins]

Yes, I too think the labeling is funny for a missile.

 

[bad_idea]

Sorry to ask, but what does M.O.B. mean in this context?

Sorry to ask, but what does M.O.B. mean in this context?

If it was M.O.A.B., I'd say it's Mother Of All Bombs...

 

[bad_idea]

I am only familiar with the vernacular, which one can find on the urban dictionary but I won't post here.

 

[Cape Byron]

Mother Of (the) Bride?

 

[Scotty Dog]

Yes, I too think the labeling is funny for a missile.

This is off a box of wire staples for romix.

 

[Scotty Dog]

More detail.
Use as a launch lug.

 

[teepot]

Mars or Bust?

 

[Scotty Dog]

Not sure on just one lug at the cg or 1 on each end?

 

[KenECoyote]

Make Or Break?

 

[teepot]

I would suggest one at the bottom and one just above CG.

 

[jqavins]

What are those toothpick based assemblies about?

 

[Scotty Dog]

Lugs just tacked on.
A little detail to fatten the nose some.
Couple more details I have in mind n should fo it.
