I have 43 kits and I am on a buying freeze until I get built down to only a few. I want to try a buy as I build approach. I'm not much of a collector of things and I buy my kits to build.

I typically have 3-4 builds going at any time. Currently I am working on an Estes Starship Enterprise, an Estes Dragonfly and a SEMROC Starlight.

If the decal for your Dragonfly is crisp and unusable, I have an extra decal.

I was married for ten years.
That was plenty.
Same wonderful GF for the past 5.5 years. She wisely does not push me toward marriage either.

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 !

My Girlfriend/Better Half/Significant Other is very smart.
Knows where she can push and what areas are expressly verboten.
It helps that we have known each other for almost 30 years !

Mine looks pretty good but you never know. I'll coat it with some decal film before I give it a try.

Yes, it looks viable. Let me know if it isn't.

I built this Dragonfly back in '09. "The Vixen" painted it by hand with pearlescent watercolors.
