Thanks again for putting up such a great site (I've already benefitted from learning about the Hobby Lobby 50% off sale)!

Later,
EV

Welcome to the forum. I'm sure the Hobby Lobby sale won't be the last thing you learn about. How do you feel about tractors? Any Teri Garr stories to share?

I'm jealous!

Welcome to the group.

Got any pictures?

Tonight's a bit busy, but I'll try and get a few shots

Be forewarned that what you see may be considered blasphemous, as they've been sitting in two cardboard boxes for the last 15 to 20 years. I was cleaning up the garage a couple weekends ago, and stumbled upon my little treasure trove. Quite a lot of dust, and unfortunately, too many broken fins.

Looking down the list, I notice that I've got a little pattern. Of my 21 models, over half (11) have a non-traditional nose cone. What can I say? I'm a sucker for the sci-fi looking ones.

P.S. ...and sure enough, the 3 that I bought last night at the HL sale are all sci-fi, non-standard cones. Go figure....

Thank you and welcome to the site. I see you're listed as living in southern WI. What city are you in?

EV,

Welcome to our little funhouse...

That's a fine list of models in your collection, with no ARFs or RTFs to munge it up...

...and no 2100's -- OK, maybe that ONE #2109 Renegade you mentioned in another thread...

I see one in your list that Scott has been looking for -- the Astro Bee! (I've been looking for that one, as well!)

Be sure to check out Scott's YORP Kit Lists (and the Expanded Kit List) to see which kits we're still looking for, just in case you know where any others might be hiding...

As requested, I took some photos. However, they are too large for this site, and I don't have a good way to shrink 'em. I've sent them to my office where I'll shrink and upload in the morning. In taking my photos, I came across a couple more in my set, the Estes #2004 Tornado and the Centuri #5343 NASA Space Shuttle Columbia.

Well, technically as of last night, there are now three unbuilt 2100's in my presence;

2109 Renegade - I'm going to modify this probably by moving the pods and main wings forward off of the booster and on to the main body.

2110 Outlander - My brother LOVES the Mars Lander, so this one might become a present.

2133 Shuttle Xpress - I bought this one to steal the Interceptor II nose cone. I'll still probably put this one together with my kids, but with a standard-style cone. I'll use the cockpit cone for something worthwhile.

As for the AstroBee, it's not very pretty. In fact, it's my first ever rocket. As such, the paint job is pretty hideous (hand-painted with lots of brush strokes).

Oh, and FYI, I'm near Janesville, WI.

OK, here are the photos I promised....

The first is all my stuff that's fully finished. That green one in the foreground is #1374 Attack Craft Orion, just with a different paint scheme. I think I might try to take her back to the original look.

The second is all my Work In Progress stuff. That big black sucker in the back was my first attempt at cloning (18 years ago) my brother's Centuri ESS Raven.

Picture 3 is of my vintage kits. I'm definitely gonna put together the Alien Explorer and the DST, but I might get rid of (sell/trade) the Boeing ALCM. Scale stuff just doesn't do it for me.

The last picture is self-explanatory. Thank GOD I saved this stuff.

EV
