Wink Guess the Mystery Rocket!
See if you can identify this original design from the single clue offered by this charming young lady below (my youngest daughter Emma, who loves ballet and the Barbie movies, and who turns 8 next month).

Extra points if you include a link to articles or webpages outside this thread.


Cheers,

--Jay

Is it a Barbies 5340 Thunder Roc? Soon to be painted Barbie pink with cool metal flakes?

Now I know what Jay does with the PM's I send him. He prints them off and uses them as rocket masking material.
Geez, can she spare some of that hair for a guy whose head stays cold from September to April?

Pink with metal flakes? That *is* cool!

Well, it seemed like a wise use of resources... *at the time.*

Dunno. I'll ask.
It's really fine, though, and tends to built up static electricity pretty easily for that "flyaway look."

Sorry. I had to hit that exposed fin with a second coat of silver, and then I noticed I'd accidentally gotten some silver overspray (my masking techniques could use some improvement, apparently ) on the other two black fins, and I just got done respraying that.

So I hate to prolong your agonized suspense, but I'll need to let the paint dry at least another 24 hours before pulling all of the masking tape off.

In the meantime, any more guesses? (I bet Craig M. knows.)


Thanks for your patience,

--Jay

Never mind. Mine's already flown away once. I can't face it again.
