Ok, have to much time to think about what rockets to work on. I have changed my mind and stopped working on my TOMCAT and have started my SEMROC USS Andromeda. Yeah, I'm sure this is the one to build. Maayybbee.

That dog is on alert! Do they ever relax?

Maybe that picture of the cows checking him out is as relaxed as a Belgian gets?

Very amazing dogs.

Didn't mean to, but one of my flights yesterday gave me a reason to build a new Centuri Vulcan clone. B6-4 flight that ended soon after it cleared the rod. I think the 20-year old glue may have succumbed to the effects of time and slid in front of the nozzle. Completely unexpected, but a fairly impressive way to go out. I saved the motor tube and nose cone, as well as a launch lug.

I finally got one done, well, except for decal. The Enerjet 1340 clone, from an Estes Eliminator kit I got from Bill Eichelberger. I really like the silver and white color scheme.

Thanks John!

Next one almost done is an Enerjet 2250 downscale.

I guess I finally got the Enerjet fever a few months ago, after realizing it was almost two years ago I got the Eliminator kit from Bill. We met at an eRockets Build Night right before NSL in Geneseo.

My downscale Enerjet 2250. Goofed on paint — the base colors should be orange on bottom, black on top.
