Hi, Folks,
Just put the final touches on a long-running scratch-built Orbital Transport project. I started work on this one in 2018. I'm kinda slow!

More details and pictures at this link to the ol' blog:

That really turned out well! If you hadn’t said it was a scratch build, I don’t think anyone would have known.

Don’t feel badly about your construction timeline. I’ve got several that are sitting at 6-7 years and still in primer. Others that are at 2-3 years. I probably have 10-12 builds going at any one time and sometimes I have issues weather wise with getting optimal opportunities for painting (high humidity primarily). When that is the case, I press on with another build and wind up with a ‘paint finishing’ backlog.

I suspect I’m probably not the only one who suffers from that.

Thanks!
I'm happy to learn that I am not the only one who takes long build times.

I have a Semroc 1/70 Saturn 1B that has been 85% done since about 2007.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !
