It Is.......ALIVE ! ! !

 The Steampunk Protostar, that is.

This morning, the long-suffering project has once again been extracted from it's dark, dreary vault (project cabinet) located in the furthest forlorn reaches of the mysterious LaBORatory (basement shop)....

"Time to fetch the...COUGH... Protostar.... Heh, heh....hee heee..  HACK..HACK...HA-GUAAARK !!"

The model was sequestered away last Spring when the Covid-19 thing hit, literally putting my rocketry involvement in lock-down, alongside most everything else.

When things picked back up in July, building activities favored a number of other rocket projects.  The Protostar remained in the cabinet.

Now, the partially completed bird is back on the bench.

This time around, I'm going to take a wee page out of Chris Michielssen's book and not put up any further build posts until the model is completely finished. This way, if the project gets bogged down again, there won't  be the long delays between posts.

If all goes as planned, I hope to get the model completed by the end of the year.

Incidently, I don't really have a hunchback or a hunchbacked assistant......
