Hello, in from the cold

[BobH]

I just discovered this forum a few days ago.

Or, to be truthful, I just rediscovered this forum a few days ago when I found the link buried in a favorites subfolder.

It seems I joined back in 2006 and had made 2 posts and then nothing.

So I'm new to the forum but not new.

Anyways, my main paper model interest is converting card stock rockets into flying models but I do build static models on occasion, mainly aircraft.

Well welcome back and hope to see some of your works soon. Enjoy the site once again and see you around the forums.

Thank you for the welcome back. I've been a little stagnant lately as my model building area is in an unheated basement.

But I can build a simple card model or two on the kitchen table from time to time.

This is typical of what I've been doing the last few years.

This is the 1/48 Soyuz launcher that I got from Lower Hudson Valley Gift Shop

This is a flying model so I added a motor mount to the center.

The last picture is it beside a smaller Soyuz that I built several years earlier.

Here is launch day.

Here I am loading it on the launch pad.
Liftoff on an Estes D12-3 engine.
Climbing into the sky.

Last a liftoff on an Aerotech E18-4W later in the year.
