I dragged out a bunch of old projects and started a few new ones this weekend. Some of these pre-date us living in this house, so I finally decided that I was sick of seeing them sit unfinished. A couple are new builds.



The Pulsar came about because I had a bunch of BT-5, a bunch of PNC-5A, and an old Pulsar decal that I got in an Ebay auction. Should be perfect for B6-4 Field.



Voyager II. Not my build, but a badly beaten Ebay refugee that I got cheap. I've already flown it, but I wanted to get it painted and decaled. It needed two paper shrouds replaced, so I printed new ones on cardstock.



MPC Flare Patriot that I bought in 2001. Also an Ebay bird. Painted it silver, but it looked terrible, so it never flew. I resprayed it white and I'm going to go from there.

I miss being SAM 0058

Build floor: Centuri Mini Dactyl Estes - Low Boom SST Semroc - Marauder, Shrike, SST Shuttle

In paint: Canaroc Starfighter Scorpion Estes F-22 Air Superiority Fighter, Multi-Roc, Solar Sailer II Semroc Cyber III

Ready to fly: Estes - Solar Sailer II Semroc - Earmark, Groonie Der V 1/2

Custom Matra is coming along fine after a rough start. Engine mount and some fillet work tonight, then I'll decide on how much to trim off of the top section of BT-60.



Explorer Aquarius that Chas brought for me at one of the NARCONs. I've taken it to launch TWICE, only to find NO LAUNCH LUGS. Now it at least has one.



Estes Death Star that I built for my nephew. I went out and bought Testors primer and paint today, so I'll have an official paint scheme when I get to take the kids flying again. This paint and primer will also allow me to finish the F-22 Air Superiority Fighter that I've had since 1996.

While it looks like you have your work cut out for you, it also seems that you're well on your way. The strays have been herded back in the corral; no doubt they'll turn out well.

Keep us posted!

Just the tip of the iceberg. There are still a bunch of half-completed projects sitting out there in the shop. The good news is that if I make it to NARAM, I should have an interesting bunch of birds to fly. Or at least some decent B6-4 Field pics.

I've been doing some painting this weekend. I had hopes to start a model or two, but a took a really long nap on the couch instead. I don't do that too often, so I let it happen.

Great work man...I did get a tube of glue out today...but never did get around to using it!

Part of my day today was spent helping a young girl whose car overheated while in line at Sonic. I was trying to let the steam escape a little, but it blew the cap on me. Scared the hell out of me and burned my hand and face. The good news was that it let the pressure off. Volkswagons are tempermental as hell.

I can remember a time when you wouldn't have had to worry about letting the steam escape from a volkswagon, and we"ve advanced?

What's your idea on the best way to change Washington D.C.?
Let us know at the Cantina
Sagitta Cantina

We're looking for a few good Catos, please tell us about any you may have had. Survey of Anecdotal Malfunctioning Engines or S.A.M.E.

It was a Cabrio. According to my son, the VW guru, there is no way to let the steam off except explosively, so I did it right.

Glad to see the Aquarius build. Jeez, that NARCON was five years or so ago. I still have one kit in the box.
Remind me to nag you about launch lugs. Here's your sign....

Awaiting future launch picks!

Chas
