Thought I'd ask as the season is winding down to fly what your winter projects are, and since I'm doing scratchbuilt projects this winter..heres my todo list:
1) Resin cast all the Estes shuttle and tank parts, and hunt down all the extra tubing so I can keep the last Estes kit # 1284 for reference. In addition, check with Drew Tomko on his Energia-Buran and see what I need to create a copy of it.
2) Start work on the huge Guillows 1/77th scale Space Shuttle, then scratchbuild an external tank and SRBS to match, then make a static display base.
3) Find tubes for a Launch Pad style Nike-Hercules, using the plans as a guide. Decide on a proper way to stage it - since I'm an absolute newbie to electronics/schematics and avoid it like the plague. You say capacitor, I say huh ?
4) Clone a Sandhawk, then a Terrier-Sandhawk and if all goes well, create a Nike-Sandhawk.
That should keep me busy till next winter when i can do it all again..so, whats your plans ?
Cheers,
