Allen's rockets built over the last year

Thought I'd show what I've been working on over the last year or so:

Note: a special thanks to Scott for helping figure out why my pics would not load; turns out Mozilla Firefox was the problem, so I switched to Google Chrome and voila! I'm such a computer gooberhead! Thanks, buddy!

1: Shrox Johnny Star Commander in primer. It's ready for the gloss white.

2: Custom Satellite Drone all painted, just in need of its decals; Quest (Shrox) Stiletto, fins done, now ready for the silver paint and sealer; am Estes Trident clone painted in need of decals.

3: Estes Star Blazer restoration painted, believe to be VERY old, and needs decals; DFR Technologies Atlas V AV401 that just needs the recovery system installed; an original, very old mini-brute Bomarc that I had to repair from a CATO that split its body tube (it was kida brittle to begin with).

4: This pic shows the above Bomarc's split tube (1st CATO I've ever had from an A10-3). Also shown is the engine tube and its chut from my Bomarc glider clone which CATO'd. All has been repaired, though.

1: Sirius Eradicator, all done. This was complicated only from a painting standpoint, but turned out nicely.

2: Estes Xarconian Cruiser, all done.

3: Centuri Quasar restoration, very old but ready to go. Finally!

1: l-r: Estes Tomahawk, done; little Estes Gauchito, done; Sirius Deimos which is one of my favs, done.

2: l-r: Custom Stealth Interceptor, hated the decals but too late now 'cause she's sealed up and done; Estes Mars Snooper, restored using all the original '60s balsa cones, transition, and pods, used SEMROC fin set, done; Space-X and Dragon, just had to build.

3: Fliskits Celtic Thunder, done; Estes Blenders, built and painted by my nephew, and just waiting on him to come put the decals on.

1: Estes Soaring Eagle that came to me in pieces that I bought off Ebay. Looks like it was stored in extreme conditions, but I think I can get her to fly. That's Maggie, my constant companion in her chair guarding the hoard!

2: Launch Pad Nike Hercules, finally decaled and sprayed with Model Master Flat Clear. All she needs is the two parachutes she came with installed.

Allen, real REAL nice! And those Sirius rockets are SERIOUS rockets! And gotta love the Launch Pad Nike Hercules! Wow!

Looking good!

How did you like the Eradicator build? I especially like the idea of that kit and design as a transition kit to HPR.

Looks good but you need to hold the camera 90° to the right! :rolleyes:

Love the F4-F Wildcat on floats.

Don't feel too bad. You aren't the only one who hasn't had any luck with Bomarcs. :mad:
