Default Primer Pot Pourri

OK, I admit I've gotten a bit behind.

......(Did I mention I hate sanding?)

So I gathered up all the rockets I've built and primered, then moved on to something else.

......(Did I mention I hate sanding?)

I admit that over the last few years I've been diverted to competition stuff (I find such self-serving excuses very comforting).

......(Competition rockets rarely require painting, hence very little sanding).

So here's what I have in primer.

......(no scolding, please, it's very hurtful and rude)

I've committed myself to actually getting these done!

...(Did I mention that I plan to live a long, long time?)

How many can you identify?

......(kind of reminds me of "Hidden Pictures" in Highlights Magazine)

Enjoy,

Steve

And two more. One pre-primer and one past-primer.

Mars Lander is ready for decals, yaaay!

That is a, er, "prime" collection you got there. I could recognize probably 2/3, some I'd have to look up to remember the name. Also leveraged Les's list, helped me with a few.

1) Estes Starship Vega
2) Pershing 1A obviously, but I'm not sure whose. Would've guess Zooch or Fliskits, but couldn't come up with any hits on those.
3) Estes Mini Max?
4) Estes Strike Fighter
5) I was gonna say Centuri Red-eye, but now I'm doubting it.
6) Rocketarium Terraformer
7) Estes Fletcher
8) Recognize but can't place it, rats.
9, 10, 11) ?
12) Estes Jupiter C
13, 14) ?
15) Estes Photon Probe with upside-down fins.
16) Estes USS Atlantis
17) Estes Alien Invader
18) Estes Explorer Aquarius

Whew!
