Wow, Scott, your collection of Scissor Wings looks like mine of Orbital Transports! It must be one of your favorites!
I thought I had a lot of unbuilt rockets untill I saw Arley's list! I should sit down and list them as he did, but I do have a listing in a notebook: about 14 pages of unbuilts and 3 pages of built ones. I'm running out of room in my 18 x 24 shop! I only made the list in case the shop burned down !
I'd take a few pics if I was not so embarrassed at how 'messy' it might look. At least I know where everything is!!!
Working on Centuri Athena clone, BMS Drifter, old Centuri Saturn V restoration, Semroc xkits X-ray and Mark (my son's), Semroc Sky hook (also my son's), and my KM-5 Bomarc clone (a project thread elsewhere here).

Scott,

You are slacking off!

I expected to see that you had aquired far more kits then those few you posted in the pictures.

You must not be feeling well or else you would not have dropped out of the bidding on that Estes Citation Quasar at NARAM-50.

Bob

When was the last set of photos that you posted?

Oh, and take my advice. Hang on to that Odyssey kit. That one's a classic!

Yes it is listed, look again, for there is more listed on M. Excel put There was to much so I just showned the Number and Name only. The Date is when I finished building the rocket, (May of 1994).

May-94 2094 1 Shadow 29MM Estes
Mid Power Standard Rocket

Here is a couple of pictures of the Shadow, but I modified it for Mid Power, with 29MM motor mount, strengthened tubes, true the wall Plywood fins, and nose weight to move the center of gravity forward.

Dear LeeR
I lost my rockets and some of my models when I left home, most tossed out by my Parents.

As for my Grandson, I already have a will made out that he gets my collection as will as most everything else once he becomes of age, he’s 8 now, and it has been almost 6 years since his mother and my daughter was killed.

Here are some more pictures of my daughter’s rockets, a couple with her son Jacob. The first is the Loc Onyx, that she never finished it, so a couple of years ago I finished and called it the Onyx (Candy's Memorial) with her picture and her children’s handprints. In case you were wondering, I am rising Jacob and my brother and his wife are raising Necia my granddaughter.

Arley,

Sorry for your loss. But good on you for stepping up to the task of raising your grandson. That is one unbelievable supply of projects to work on with you.

Oh that's a sweet bird. Heh, I was thinking about the same thing for mine. Boy that thing can fill up a launch rod can't it?
