Default A pair of Astron Spacemen

Every Halloween I try (but am not always successful) to create a themed Astron Spaceman. I'm able to do this only because I have sandwich bag full of "head" BNC's.

You may or may not remember my last one: "Rock Zombie".

My very first one was "Rock Zann". (some of these names are better than others)

These (2) Spacemen I might make into a famous pair--such as:

Ozzie and Sharon or Dolly Parton or Sonny and Cher or Donny and Marie--

or maybe Frankenstein's monster and "The Bride".

Yeah, maybe that LAST one. Time to get busy.

WOW!, JeffyJeep, that is AWESOME! I can't imagine they fly very well... But then again, I've never built a custom rocket like that. Mostly kits.

I see now that you are not only an amazing builder, but you like to have fun with it too. You are very blessed!

Shaggeh.

I built a Astron Spaceman from scratch, ( I had the plans and the NC) I don't know how I did this but: the spaceman would eject the motor and go into a circler guild. The spaceman would circle
the field 1-2 times and skid to a landing?

These are both from scratch. I obtained a bunch of the head BNC's many years ago. I have the pattern for the remaining parts and miles of BT's and LL's.

My (2) intrepid Spacemen are now enrobed in white semi-gloss enamel and are ready to be hand painted by "The Vixen".
