Not the complete fleet....

A few weeks ago, Kopernik Observatory held its annual Rocketfest.
I put on a display of some of my rockets

This is about half of my collection from nearly 20 years of builds. Enjoy!

Very very impressive. Maybe most of all is that you actually packed up that many rockets to bring somewhere. Can't imagine what good stuff you might have lurking in the other half...

The Pigasys in flight is very well done.

Also like seeing an assortment of Squirrel Works models.

There are several I can't identify but one I'm particularly curious about: a blue-and-white rocket with Air Force markings, at the left edge of the middle table, behind the portapad (at least I think it's a portapad)?

The rocket is the Quest Aerspace One designed by Shrox.

Yes - its takes me a few hours to select and pack the rockets, time to setup the display, time to tale down at the end of the day, and several more hours to put everything back away.

But the people attending the event seem to enjoy looking at them

Although my most common words are "Please don't touch"

Les - The USS Hyperion is top notch. I have a;always wanted to build a rocket with the aft rings.

On the whole fleet ,second picture the "the gold rocket horizontally" to the right of the corn cob rocket - what is that one ? Is that a kit or a scratchbuild ?

What a fantastic fleet display , thank you for the eye candy.

The horizontal gold rocket with the silver tubes is a Pemberton Bucky Jones
The vertical gold rocket with the red fins is an OOP Custom Stealth Interceptor
