Default One year later....

All,

after re-discovering the hobby and finding this place about a year ago,
(see this thread http://forums.rocketshoppe.com/showthread.php?t=181),
I decided it would be a neat idea to take a quick picture of everything I've built in the past four seasons.

Twenty-five's not a bad number, eh?

Later,
EV

At that rate, in the next 1 1/2 years you'll have more model rockets than I have in my
fleet! If I had the time, I'd beat you with tons of vintage kits begging for assembly.

I'm glad we've been able to help you along the way, Eric. You have some great looking sci-fi/fantasy rockets there!

Thumbs up

Great Photo Echovictor, and a very nice collection.

A couple of question if you have the time. What is the rocket in the back row that is the third from the right, all white with very wide wings??
And also in the front row, third from the left that is either a maroon or purple/red color? Any in the photo of you own design I wonder??

PS Sci-fi fantasy RULES!!

Thanks for your time, JP

Good job, Eric!

I stay up late for double OT, and once again, frakkin' Edmonton!

Now, to answer those questions;

The third from the right in the back row is a primed but yet unpainted Sunward Sukhoi Su-47.

Front row, third from left is a standard Estes Nemesis painted with RustOleum American Accents' "Claret Wine" color (with some $0.96 Wally-World can silver trimming).

Any in the photo of my own design? Actually 11.5 are. I count my USS Atlantis "ProtoWarp" mod in the back row far left as the 0.5.

The second row, far right is a little experiment I named the USS Spherion. I love the Shrox ping-pong ball trick, but I had to try one using 'em somewhere other than the body.

I know I have quite the painting backlog. Unfortunately, my new house is on a hill, and the amount of windless days is minimal.

Very nice collection - did you build the starfighter scorpion completely from scratch? It looks longer than the original. Have you flown any of these? I'd love to see some of them at a woosh launch.

Which Shrox design is that, next to the FlisKits Farscape? Is this the "phantom" modroc that never got kitted?

Okay. Nice group shot. Now we need some close-up shots for details.
And EMRR reviews.

Default Please more Photo's Eric

For once, I agree with Bill, Don't make us beg for the close up shots. Especially those of your own design.
