Default Themed Spaceman Build

I've had a built and primered Astron Spaceman sitting on my rocket bench for over a year and it's time to do something with it.

I told "The Vixen" she could take a short break from doing laundry to help me come up with a theme. She said, "how about The President?"

BRILLIANT!!!

This is gonna be EPIC!

Stay tuned. TBC

Every day I thank God that I live in a country where I can do stuff like this without fear of being hauled off to a lifetime of labor in the salt mines.

.......or worse.........."DEATH BY SNOO-SNOO!"

Hmm. Good point. I may have reconsider that.

I dunno... toured the salt mines in Hutchinson, KS last month...

They weren't half bad... 68 degrees year round, 40% humidity, and 650 feet below ground you don't have to worry about what numb nuts fire what missiles up topside...

Later! OL J R

You should do a matching crooked Hillary or maybe Pelosi to go with him. BTW, I don't think he will fly stable with all that flapping hair out front.

"The Vixen" has made the hairdo her pet project. She'll probably construct it separately on a stand-alone "head" and then we'll attach it to the model like a wig.

If you can scale down the thinness of his coif and not let it flop in the wind, it might be stable enough to leave on for flight.
