Old forts, cool cars, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Drums, Guitars, Synths & Gear, CAD, Apollo/Skylab, and too much crap cluttering my room.

I prefer the old color scheme. This is available on their mini modern version. The big one has the colors in the first post. /2

Probable next project, the Comanche-3 three-stage. I built the same thing in 1982. The original boasted 2600 feet--but was 12gm lighter than this! The nose cone was thin vacu-formed plastic. Modern is heavier styrene. /1

Assembly is complete, now I'm glazing the fins. Next is sanding. Hopefully Thursday will be just warm enough for shooting the paint.

I don't expect this to fly, but it's built by the instructions. I'm running glazing putty on the wings to smooth them, since Batman's stuff is uber clean. Still, it should fly with maybe a little ballast in the nose, depending on how heavy the tail is with the glazing on it.

Been about 20 years since I built my last pair of Estes birds. They never flew and are collecting dust.
This one's been in its packaging until a few nights ago, when I decided it was time. This batwing'd missile is my nephew's xmas present. /1

Santa's "D" sleigh is several million pounds of coal, this year, for those you-know-who's. But he keeps it festive, that jolly old Elf!
Dunno if this link works if you're not signed in...but more xmas trains!

"Wait. You were doing BURNOUTS in a 400,000 pound locomotive? Drag racing is specifically forbidden and it's clearly stated in your Team Member Guidance Manual."

"Told Marv we hit somethin' but that dumb sumbitch just goggle-eyed at me and said I didn't know jack like he does, and there's no way a goddamn HAMMER could be a problem. Huh? Yeah, I can draw what it looked like..."

It's rare that you see a locomotive in "Dazzle" camouflage. Makes it harder for enemy U-Boats to spot them.
(right: a formidable pair of GE U23B "U-Boats.")

Dazzle has a long history. Believe it or not, RMS Olympic was never sunk by any U-Boat! 😲
