Andromeda - The five year project
I started this back in May of 2001. With a little luck, I'll find time to finish the project this weekend. It still needs a final sanding, priming, painting and decals. 75% of the work has been completed since last Saturday night.

that is one of my favorites! Always wanted one when I was a kid.
Is that from a kit, or just a talented representation? If from a kit, who sells them? I am not yet talented enough to figure that one out from just the plans, but would like to build one sometime. |

You can get a clone kit from Pimp Daddy Rocketry; I've heard good things about their K-21 Gemini Titan clone. Here's the link. Thrustline Aerospace also has an Andromeda clone parts pack - look here. Phred at Excelsior Rocketry has the decals in the "Classic Waterslide Decals" section.

Mine was just figured out from the plans, but if I was going to do it again, I'd definitely go with one of the available kits over winging it from the parts bin. I've never built a Thrustline kit, but I've used their components. The Pimp Daddy kits are nice; like building one straight from the package circa 1978. Unfortunately that includes the recovery system, which is pretty much a throwback. I hate mylar chutes and I've long since moved past the tri-fold cord mount.
