Default Title

I know, I know. You woke up today and the first thought in your mind was "Gee, I wonder whatever happened to Bill's Big Goony project?"

Finished Zoom Broom:




Finished Galaxy Guppy




(I know you were thinking it anyway. )

And just to give you an idea on where the project stands at the moment:







I'm having some trouble getting the Cloud Hopper decals to print, but I expect to figure out the problem before the weekend.

You're missing the obligatory can of beer in those shots.

P.S.- I like your title.

I thought about it, but I was watching my friend's kids today and was trying to entertain them and shoot the rocket pics at the same time. I've got a couple of good ones planned. Real college boy rotgut.

I see by your first pic you've decided to cook your rockets in the kitchen rather than waste all that gas and drive out to the field. Neat idea, but doesn't the smoke sort of bother the family?

Nice fleet shot, Bill. They ought to draw some attention when you take them to the field.
