Nice to see you back at this one Richard, and some nice work indeed.

the missiles are super neat.... very well done...

Thanks fellas,

John, normal artillery salvos were easier to predict than these rockets which often didn't fire in sequence and fell about all over the place.
Jim, thats a lovely conversion... imaging having chosen the worst unreliable and diesel guzzling chassis to put their rockets on. The crew must have felt very safe.
Ian, thanks, actually this was made years back and just thought of sharing but was interrupted along the way. The work is quite old school without much detailing evident from the door handle which I didn't attempt to improve.
Greg, lots of scraping to get the seams rounded. The fins as well were a cleaning challenge.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi, here are final pictures with the armoured shield added. They were for protection from the rocket blast.



I cut the clear pastic side window to show it half opened.







That's it, thanks for looking in.

Cheers,
Richard

Mr T and myself having been working together on a little project. We are looking to open up a rivet museum on the Darkside. We have found a site on the planet Moraband just outside the burial grounds known as the Valley of the Dark Lords. The rates are quite high but there is good foot fall with this being a regular go too place for the Sith.

We have spoken to NASA about setting up regular shuttle flights but its proving quite expensive. So we have a meeting next week with Emmett Lathrop "Doc" Brown about converting his flux capacitor to fit into a Toyota Prius.

The exhibits will include the history of the rivet and rivet making tools. There will be a guided tour of the local pewter mines. Also we will hold regular workshops on all things PE and CA.

Entry is free to all members of the Darkside. To become an honorary member you need to have built a 1/72 model or smaller with more than 200 added rivets. Scratch built a Milliput bed roll with pewter straps and above all, be able to spot a 0.3mm rivet from 50 paces.

Apart from that it’s just been the usual Monday to Friday day job here on planet Earth. Its good to be back

Steve, glad to have you back...don't know if I'm sorry I asked, sounds revitting :tears-of-joy: :tears-of-joy: ...anyways have you considered asking Branson from Virgin, I hear they're working feverishly on escapades to space. Perhaps they might make a detour or add your destination into their tour map.:tongue-out3:

Cheers,
Richard
