I love this rocket. It reminds me of the old serial picture rockets like in "Radar Men from the Moon", and "Zombie's of the Stratosphere". I used to watch the different chapters every Saturday afternoon on TV when I was a kid. I liked their ships better than the Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers serials. They had the streamlined shape, but I could never understand why they landed and took of on the skids. Lydecker special effects of the time I guess. Rocketman looked pretty real on screen even if he was an inflatable dummy sliding down a wire.

Hi Neptune,
No need to worry about designs for me, I've found quite a few that will be done. My models are limited by autoCAD ability to do color, my version only does 256 color. Just mentioning how much I like your models, and was impressed by how you got them. You choose great looking graphics! Like the rocket has been there and done that. A very interesting book that's on my bookshelf is called The Rocket and the Reich written by Michael Nuesfeld. It covers development of all of the rocket programs from a historical point of view. It covers Werner in great detail. It even talks about the 1st analog computer used to guide the V1. Keep up the great work, enjoy reading your threads and checking out your models!!! Brings back several memories as in a few days 55 will be attained. BTW-You could always post some updates to the thread "Other things we and make" on the Refit. Like I mentioned my internet has me giving up on videos, photos are less time. Interested in how it looks once finished! Mike

I remember that, but doesn't it look like a slightly modified version of the When Worlds Collide ship?...
I plinked around with a few more shots of the Big Boy and finally go all of the entities scaled to each other and aligned and the software shot craps! Frakk! |

harryhousen did wierd things to his vehicles.
remember mysterious island, and the nautilas had a v shaped cutter prow? it does kind of look like that big silver rocket shape in so many movies, but i think ray was making something out of his own mind. the intakes around the middle of some kind of hydrogen collector? i wonder what the engine rear view looks like? jim by the way nice work on the scout... i like the tri-component look. |

The fins are about the only thing that really changes. Some add a set of wings as well, but most stick to the fuselage shape of the V2. Sometimes somone adds a canopy or air scoops of some sort. Mike |
