Rick ,these kits are 2.6" diam. (BT-80) although some are smaller and at least one (Bullpup D ?) is 3" +/- ,I have one built ,I`ll try to get a picture ,it certainly is a different looking Bullpup.I would say the average kit stands about 30" tall and some taller ,like the Nike Ajax which is about 52".......I need to get that one made ,it`s in the stash.

Send me a PM if you want some details about the TLP kits ,I`ll fill you in on the pros and cons and what to expect.

Take care my friend !

Glad you like the new avatar. The rocket over the shoulder is kind of a trademark of mine. (I know, I take rocketry to an even higher level of geek!)

those rockets you are carrying look pretty cool to me! I am a LPR guy and kinda new back to the hobby...but holy smokes those are BIG rockets!! How high and how fast do they go?

Most of my rockets go low and slow. The yellow one, though, has a 54mm motor mount and is set up for dual deploy. It can go pretty high. The one in my avatar is my biggest yet, but it only went 1500 ft on a 38mm J400 motor.
 
they look fantastic!

Here's are my newest addition:
Soyuz, Little Joe II, F-15, and a Saturn 1B

I love that Saturn 1b! nice job!!

Thanks
Its all scratch built everything came from Semroc, it has "wraps" on it but their not noticeable their too small
it was a nice challenge, building and painting.
 
That Dyna-Soar is really lovely. Does the X-20 separate from the rocket and glide back on its own, or is it attached to the shock cord?

Its a Sandman X-20 and attached to the shock chord with two air force parachutes made from bags,
It flies on 18mm engines, its flew twice on B 6-4s
it has the same engine mount as the K-21 Gemini.

would you mind sharing a picture ?
Remember we folks on the forum love pictures.
Mines arent also the best nor the highly detailed ones
but the are builders who make master pieces.

I'm confused. That's my NAR number.
