Default Back with something different - New Way square tube custom

Hey all,

I haven't poked my head in here for a while, and just thought I'd say "hi" again. Been a crazy past 12 months with family stuff, as well as getting relocated to Michigan. Haven't really had the time (nor the inspiration) to work on anything for a while, but I had a day to myself yesterday, and had the itch to build. But what to do?

Back at NSL 2009, I had the opportunity to talk a bit with Rick Randol of New Way Space Models. If you haven't seen them, he's making some pretty cool square-tubed rocket kits;

Anyways, knowing my propensity for the odd and different, I picked up a 4 Square kit, and Rick was nice enough to let me bargain for an extra body tube and couple of pieces. Seeing as I almost never do anything normal, this is what I came up with.......

This is progress so far. I'm still thinking about putting some sort of paper cockpit or bridge up near the nose. Maybe some canards, or armament detail. I've still got these pieces left...



Whatcha guys think???

Later,
