Is that a kit or your own design? Has a nice sport look to it.
Its the CS Rocketry Bomb Pop kit, County line hobbies has or has had the for sale.

Fixed the paint (orange peel) that I screwed up last week. Lightly wet sanded the entire thing and then reapplied 2 light coats on it. I figure 6 coats of paint and 3 coats of primer should be enough.

Prepped rockets for "Holtville Havoc", I'm not sure how many.... Sharon worked in the office. We got hammered with work this week, and only had three days to catch up before leaving for this weekends launch. Tomorrow morning I'm doing a mass motor building blitz, then packing the trailer with rockets. Hopefully leaving around 1 PM to meet up with AMW/Pro-X at the airport.
that is going to get real messy real quick if you launch it like that.... nice paint, what did you use?

After some calling around last month I was able to find an auto-body shop that rented me their spray booth. I went there today for an hour and a half to lay down my matte clear and finish my re-painted Darkstar (Bizzy Bee). Man what a treat, down-draft exhaust, awesome air delivery system, heated up to something like 120 if I wanted but I sprayed @ 80, just a real treat!
Not that I am superstitious however being an ex boat owner I know there is a specific way that you rename a boat, otherwise you're tempting your fate with spending some time with Davy Jones locker. I repainted, re-themed and renamed this rocket but I have yet to make amends with the rocket gods, what is one to do?

Build a Swift, paint it in the same colors and sacrifice it to the Rocket Gods, a flight on a A10-3 should suffice
Looks great! How did you paint around the fillet to have such a smooth curve?
Awesome looking Michael! However - what is this superstitious boat naming are you talking about?? I just bought a boat ... and we are talking of names this morning, seriously. My first boat, prefer not to donate to Mr. Jones
Haha - funny read on the boat, glad I don't believe in superstition - but fun nonetheless . We just bought a new boat - so no renaming necessary- but we are fiddling around with names. "The Adams Family" or "Acute boat" blah blah , kinda fun. Not rocket related but fun, it may actually curb my rocket plans - but still plan on Midwest Blast @ 3Oaks , Airfest and MWP.
