Default Catalog page build

Last year my new year resolution was to get back building after an eight year collect only period.(Wife went to school 2 years,we had our last child she took 2 years off , she went back 2 years got her RN then Mom got sick and we took care of her a year then I needed a year of just working and coming home to feel normal) Anyway, I started with 1/45 Little Joe and it came out really good so I started on the Saturn V when Covid hit. I wasn’t as happy with it but now it will be a flyer not a shelf queen. Next up were clones , aerobes 300 ,a stiletto and a scratch build from the spare box. Then I was looking over the nine finger site for the next build . For some reason the 72 Estes catalog always sticks out in my mind as the best so as I looked through it I thought it would be neat to clone the whole catalog. Well to make that manageable it would have to be page by page. Then if it’s page by page why hot do warm up page build . So a little more searching and I decide on page 22,23 of the 78 Estes catalog.Teros,Saros,Red max, Citation Patriot,Bandit and a Nike X. Three clones and three current rerelease would be a good warm up. Boyce Aerospace printed up the Saros parts from the broken pieces I sent them and erockets had the teros and bandit parts.

Alex at Boyce Aerospace said he could do a 1.5 Saros upscale. I almost took the offer but the school built new football and baseball fields and cut my flying field to a B or low C size.
