Meet SPIKE!

[Planet Andy]

Hey gang,

A funny thing happenned while various component assemblys for my Farscape were drying. Yes he began as a mild mannered Estes "Hi Flyer" but after receiving a wrap of leftover holiday paper he became SPIKE!. Don't forget the exclamation point! SPIKE! BTW we bought the paper from my nephew's school and I knew it would cover a rocket or two when we ordered it!

Happy New Year All!

Andy

Thanks Jim, That occurred to me...however, SPIKE! is very sparkly in 3D, he's got that red streamer for recovery and with conservative motor selection oughtta return just fine. My bigger concern is the paper shredding off on the way up but it is sealed on pretty nicely with Ayleen's...
....Rutro...I'm planning on posting my Stingray by the end of 1/2 (today). While it does retain a decent amount of black in it's base coat, I authorized our special detail department (Mrs. planet andy) to effectively camoflage that for being in the blue, partially cloudy sky as well...and it looks great! Hey they spend lots more time on display than in the air.
