Unusual Scale Model Subjects
The Dubai airshow is underway and the United Arab Emirates displayed a sounding rocket with the typical, classic lines that work so well in model rockets. Hopefully I can find some better views. Trying to glean dimensions from a subject photographed at an oblique angle is part art, part science (ok, mostly science - if you know how to do it, which I do not...). The rocket is called, appropriately, "Ambition 1."

Also, I stumbled on these photos of the Nigerian "space" program. These may be nothing more than nationally-sponsored high-power rockets, but the shapes and colors are unique and interesting!

I LIKE TLAR scale modeling.
Fits WELL with my home laziness credo/motto of GEID "Good Enuff, Ity'll Doo", which is a motto FAR MORE people should embrace. FARRRRR too many people expect Rolls Royce perfection but are only willing to pay for piss-poor Yugo quality. If you are not willing to pay for quality, you deserve CRAP.
