Which just goes to show you have good source material (i.e., a "niche market") to begin with.

Today I *finally* had a stretch of uninterrupted time *and* a hankering to mess with rockets. I marked the lower body tube for the fins and launch lug (well *after* installing the engine mount and Kevlar/elastic shock cord!), and managed to glue a couple of fins on (with a few hours inbetween to allow the glue to set up on the first one). [Figure 1.]

Just now, I spray painted the ersatz "payload" bay silver, and the nose cone "Centuri" (read "Krylon") orange. [Figure 2.]

"Yeah, baby, YEAH!"


Cheers,

Looking forward to a full flight report, Jay. That color scheme ought to be quite visible, especially after touchdown...

I'm toying with the idea of using a red and white SEMROC chute, too...

Prometheus is on my list of "to do" models, Jay. It just "has the look" about it...

Classic colors...

(chuckling) Glad you think so. Bill E. told me it gives off a "sci-fi" vibe...

The choices were subconscious. No, *really*...

I added the third fin and the launch lug to the lower tube tonight, and sprayed second coats on the nose cone and payload assembly. So plenty of paint on the top, but not on the bottom.

Hence, the following virtual renditions from RockSim 8:

Like minds think alike, and sometimes act... well, similar, anyway...

I was working up the BARCLONE Streak last night, applying fins, listening to some ON-J on the CD...

Maybe a future upgrade to the BARCLONE site would be a "Builder's Showcase" page to show photos of "live" models. Prometheus would fit in well...

During the last week, "Power Windows" by Rush has been making plenty of revolutions in my CD player. Last night was no exception.

That's an excellent idea... which just means I have to "get cracking," doesn't it?
