Looks like a half of an easter egg ( and paper towel roll tube ) .

We used to use those eggs for egg-lofting a lot, real close to BT60 sized, appears to be a good fit on the tube.

nice upscale, will be neat to see it painted.

The nose cone is half of a large Easter egg and the BT is from a mailing tube.

I'm a scratch builder to the core.

Default Sky Shriek follow up

Not finished yet, but should be looking good by Sunday. I'm masking it tomorrow night and I should have a pretty good idea of what the finished product will look like by the time I leave for work.

Ok... I'm going to break down and do it now... I've been about to bust... what's a goony? I've seen it mentioned TONS of times and have run up on a few threads while digging around in the archives of YORF, and other than being somewhat squaty looking I can't seem to fill out the requirment details!

So am I understanding correctly that there is a definitive set of factory Goonys that were labeled as such, but ANYTHING that's fat and squatty looking can be called one? Or are there more specified qualifications than that? Ok... how bout this... what makes a Fat Boy not a Goony!?!

It's fat, not goony. (Although Fat Boys can be goony under the correct set of circumstances. )

So Goony is something that's short and squatty that your heart tells you is a Goony, kinda but not really but yeah sometimes but not always. Or no?

I think the guy in the hat did something goony. Sometimes you just have to let Goony flow over you.
