Saturn Weekender
This morning I finished my latest project. The local hobby shop, the superlative Galaxy Hobby, is having their annual Sci-Fi and Fantasy model contest in a couple weeks, and this year's theme class is Space Yacht. So after a couple false starts, I dug out a blimp kit and bought a 1952 Chevy kit, and here's the result.
It has a number of LEDs here and there; the Space Car's headlights, taillights, dome light, and engine exhausts light up, and so do the Weekender's interior lights and taillights. Some of the windows in the space-station base light up, too.

Beautiful work.
Helena is here at hand;
And the youth, mistook by me,
Pleading for a lover's fee.
Shall we their fond pageant see?
Lord, what fools these mortals be! -Puck

Re: Saturn Weekender
Is there such a thing as "Pre-Winning"? Because you just did. Tell everyone else not to show up to the contest! You win.

Re: Saturn Weekender
Your concept is classic '50's sci fi and brilliantly executed.

Re: Saturn Weekender
Wowzers, fantastic work....how'd you do?
Re: Saturn Weekender
The theme class was "Space Yacht"; I took second. First was a lovely little conversion of a SeaQuest Stinger to a megayacht, which had a waterfall, cabanas, a diving board, and palm trees... made you want to take a vacation there!DefiantWorkshop wrote:...how'd you do?

Rocketeer, are you the same person who did the 50's style Flying Sub in light blue?

No, sir, that would be someone else. I think I remember that; did it have '57 Chevy tail fins?Otto69 wrote:Rocketeer, are you the same person who did the 50's style Flying Sub in light blue?
