Sorry for not posting again until today. My wife and I took a short vacation to Sedona, Arizona. Fantastically relaxing and fun! Got back last night.
Anyway, THANKS for ALL of the great complements! It's been fun doing this. As far as painting and such, I was planning on leaving the red tubes clear and not painting them. (that's why I bought them in red).
Yes Stormtrooper@rushmore, that pice is a plug-in. It was the one with a small motorized fan unit.
I know the rocket is slightly smaller to scale also. But hey, who else other than "We the anal" (myself included when time permits) would notice.
I basically scaled down the plans to roughly 70% for it to fit my son. The rocket is about 60-65% scale.
I found a rocket at a hobby store that had the perfect pice and all I had to do was cut it in half and flip those to make the top part with the little fins on it. The upper most piece is a plastic propeller cone.
Water sounds cool too, thought about it but then he's only 8 yrs old. hate to have a soaked 8 yr old at C3.
Will post new pics when I paint it.
Thanks again for allof the nice complements!
