A question for the forum in general (and Semroc's team in particular):

Would it be possible to offer XKits of the original Estes Model Rocket News (and Design of the Month winner) designs?

I think these designs are often overlooked, and that's a shame.

What do you think?

Starship Excalibur and Saturnian would be great "siblings", as they share some of the same design features...

It's funny you'd mention those two, as those were (literally) the first two I thought of as I was typing my original msg.

I'd love to see Carl & crew produce an SLS of either kit. I think the graceful lines of the Saturnian make it one of the most beautiful designs ever created.

Yes, the DOM designs would probably fit this scheme nicely. Most of them were just an illustration of the parts and didn't include any indepth instructions.

Here is a progress shot of my Saturnian. It's coming out just as well as I had hoped. I've always loved that design since I saw it on the back of my 1974 Parts Catalog. I also threw in the other DOM plans I've built.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL Saturnian...I'll have to dig the digital cam out and grab a shot of mine.

With all that fin area, I wonder how well she'd upscale...?
