Just last night, while I was tinkering around in the workshop, I realized that my rocket-building output has been exceedingly dismal this past year. So far, in 2021, I've only eked out three new model rockets!
And even these these were all mostly done in 2020 up to the point of painting and decaling.
Then I looked at all the un-built kits languishing in the model cabinet. Many of these have been hanging out there for two or more years.
So, I have resolved to pull a number of these kits out and do parallel builds on them.
"Simultaneously at the same time!"
My goal is to get them all completed by December 31st.
Realistically, I might not hit that target date. Since colder weather is coming upon us, getting them all painted in time could become an issue, but I will give it the ol' college try.
The kits that are part of this great venture include the following:
* Big Bertha. (This one will actually be a scratch build. I have all the parts on hand.)
* Nike-X
* Quest Icarus
* Crossfire ISX
* Esam-58
*Big Daddy
* Interceptor (This one is well into the build process already, having been started last Spring)
* Steampunk Protostar (This long-suffering project will now be seen through to completion! Promise!)
This odyssey will be very reminiscent of the old days, when I would have up to a dozen contest birds in simultaneous builds in preparation for upcoming NAR events, amidst a short time window to get them done.
Blog posts on this new endeavor will by no means consist of detailed construction notes, rather it will be a regular series of progress reports adorned with photos.
Time to get crackin'.....
Sounds like fun! I'll be watching for updates to the protostar with particular interest.
