You won't. You'll get that nice warm feeling all over when it dawns on you ...

Okay, the Stellar Spartan, but what is the middle bird? And what's with the SPEV nailed to the wall in the background? Is that stretched, or an upscale?

The middle one is the new Estes (old Centuri) Payloader II.

The SPEV in the background is original size. It's just a little distorted at the edge of the image. I cloned it and within a month, Carl released it as a kit.

Not sure of the timing, but I think this is going on with me at the moment.

I had a pretty good streak going. If not full kits, he'd at least release parts to build them after I turned my own on the lathe. Kody added to it by cloning an Orion and it got released too.

Nice gang of rockets (as usual). I'm particularly partial to the Payloader II, I had one as a kid and it's the first time I've seen one built on the rocket boards. The fin pattern is fairly unique and I put the strakes (?) on the fins of a Chuter II as they're essentially the same fin shape except for that feature. The Estes version of the 'Chuter II is not quite the same as the Centuri version so I didn't feel too obligated to adhear to the kit's design and as I said—I like that fin shape.

I always enjoy seeing photos of your (excellent) builds. Thanks.

Oh, after a half dozen builds or so... I finally "get" your tag line.
