#81 and #82 have been completed and are ready for flight.

I built #82 and helped with #81.

Nearing completion of #0651 and #0053

The 0651 was built in class with my kids. It's a rough build (you try building a rocket in a class room full of excited kids ) but the #0051 will be the *good* build

First photo is the two together. Following that is #0053 then #0651

Hoping to get them ready for paint next week (schedule permitting...)

Jim, do you use peanut butter in all of your builds?

I use it instead of Fill'n'finish on saltines.

Carl, that sounds better-tasting, by far!

Oh, you think Fill-n-Finish gives you a smooth finish? Try peter-pan creamy... (stay away from the chunky varieties... LOL)

Problem is, it takes like, *forever* to dry...

Not to mention that if you have dogs or cats they will constantly be trying to lick and/or eat your projects.

I bet!

But at least you have something to snack on while you wait for it to dry.

#98....

I had a cool ghost type paint scheme in mind, but the masking and colors proved too difficult for me ATM. I went for a variation of the classic Red, White, and Black scheme instead.

Bold! I like your style. But aren't you flirting with disaster with the Rocket Gods? Pretty daring not to paint it all gold.
