Leo's Finished Rocket Build Thread
Having been motivated by many fellow rocketeer's here (especially by scigs30) I have committed myself to finally start finishing my rockets that I started oh so many years ago and finish them once and for all.
I'll be updating this thread with every completed rocket. So to start here my finished Estes Helio-Copter that I started back in the late 80's. It is the first issue: Next up my Estes Defender having sat nakid since early 90's or so: Keep watching this space for future developments ...

An hour ago I applied the decals on my Alpha III. This rocket was built in the 80's. However I goofed on the decals because I applied them too early not waiting long enough for the paint to dry. At some point I removed the body tube and built and painted a new one. This was some time ago.
Well, today I finally applied the decals Stay tuned ...

Leo knows how to use photoshop very well; I've asked him this question a while back and he even showed a few "before" and "after" pics of the same models so we could see for ourselves. That's why I suggested to the Rocket Doctor that Estes should hire Leo; he'd really be able to take great model shots for the long awaited catalogs.....

Leo,
Congratulations on clothing the naked elderly. Doesn't it make you feel good about yourself to finally get those projects done? Last spring I went into a frenzy to finish up all the old projects and got my Constellation, Silver Comet, Eager Beaver, and Nike Ajax all done in a week. Now if I could just get my Soyuz done. |

If Leo could use Photoshop so well, why even bother painting the rockets in the first place? Why not just "Photoshop" them to have whatever paint job he wanted? |
