I always loved Rays "The Earth vs. The Flying Saucers" Saucer and i wanted to build a "fully functional" model of it.
Here's my result:

Good Start to the Starship
Best I could do in the 4 hours I had yesterday. I spent most of that time at the lathe. Love the lathe I don't need no stinking 3D printer. Actually that's not true and for some small parts I'd love to have one although I'm still faster. If I had told it to make the nose cone and the tailpiece it would still be printing, ;)

These are just the the blanks. The balsa will get sealed and then primered. Details will put in and eventually when finished they will get molded in silicon and the final product made out of alumilite.

The recesses worked out perfect and the parts fit just inside the tubes. The fins have yet to have the landing pads added and today I need to make the hinge look filets for the fins to plug into.

That's right you heard correctly. This won't be a very big model and it won't look like the current test version as it's pretty damn ugly if you ask me. The original concept had such nice 50's lines I'm sticking with it.

This will be a kit and it can be flown on a rocket engine or you can display it or both. The nose cone will be turned out of balsa on the lathe starting tomorrow. The tail once will be too. The fins will be shaped in balsa as will the hinged filets. These will be molded in silicone and cast in alumilite.

The nose cone will have a recess to accept the vacuum formed main window. The smaller passenger windows will be vinyl decals. The main body tube is cardboard but not a paper towel roll type but the type made for model rockets.

I just got my order for the tubes and parachutes, engine mounts and the like. I'm hoping to test flight in the next two weeks and a Rocket event in the Lucerne desert.

General Discussion / Facebook vs. Forums

I left Facebook a long time ago. If you think I'm still there I'm not. Mary post things with my account. That's all. The place is a security hazard and beyond that  place of great hate and trolling political redirect I'd could care less about.

Adam Savage has the right idea. Reject reality and substitute your own. I have successfully done this and it works. I have been working away without posting every week on FB my activities but rather use my websites and a few forums I love. Like "The Rocketry Forum", "Hippocket Aviators" and even RC Groups. The people there have a real passion for the art of "Making" and could care less about who did what in politics or religion.

Remember the best way to change the world is to change it! Everytime you make or create something beautiful you change it. You set it on a positive path away from the negative and doom and gloom.

I haven't been posting here much and I plan to update a bunch of the things I have been doing here lately but so should you. Get away from the evils of FB style social media. Building a rocket that goes 800 mph is much more interesting than anything I've seen on FB. Or how about a beautiful Star Ship, or cool prop? Costume? Art Work?

FB is a lazy convince where you can get trolled, hacked and spammed to death. You get up in the morning and check your news feed and all you get is stuff that pisses you off. That's know what to start the day.

Yes I knowone does forums anymore these days. So don't be a knowone.
