Semroc with all their Classic reissues of old Centuri and Estes kits are what got me back into the hobby. Without Carl/Cheryl/Bruce and the SLS line I never would have.
The 1/70 Saturn 1B should be perpetually in their lineup.
I'm going to order another Mars Lander and Farside before those disappear.
Originally I had hope for the "new" Semroc, which I no longer have.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL
, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !

I'm not so twisted up about it. Some of the kits are necessary to keep around, but the idea of cloning some of the simpler rockets isn't repellent. I always used Semroc as much for parts as I did kits.

The best price on a Mars Lander is jonrocket.com, at $44. And they offer free shipping for orders over $48. All orders earn rewards points. Great people to deal with, too.
