Nice work, Yogi. I like the straw launch installation. The degree indicator makes it really pro! And that hot air balloon contraption just is a beautiful example of simplicity and functionality combined.

Ditto!

Great work, I'm sure it was very much appreciated by all, not to mention the lucky ones that went home with one of your models!

Cheers!
Jim

Hi Yogi,

Hot air Balloon launcher is cool, something else to try once my rocket addiction is cured... Okay, it really looks "Hot"!

Teacher Workshop (Clearing the shelves)

Thanks all.

You always forget something with these ops, and I forgot my camera. Fortunately, that's not a huge problem these days as somebody always has a fancy phone (I can talk to people on mine, and - that's it).

So, does this make you an enabler now? You're suppose to provide him links for more rockets.

Yogi, extremely nice work on the penguins, those look like some seriously complex folds.

That's what I tell the wife - this is all just practice for the penguins ...

FYI, Yogi's revised 1/100 OSC Antares (nee Taurus II) is available at Ecardmodels!

I'll get mine tonight. Let's hope they get this boid off the pad this year!

Patience ..... no.

Thanks, Les. I figure they had one too many Taurus I rockets go boom, so renamed what is a completely different design.

So, trying to get all the bits of the MSL mission together since it seems to be up to me (though let's thank Jules at paper-replika for another option for the Curiosity Rover).

Rover (1:12 scale) is posted in our downloads and at lower Hudson Valley.

Cruise stage and aeroshell (1:48) were drawn to meet a request and are posted at Lower Hudson Valley.

And now, another caricature. No dimensional drawing so it's just eyeballed off of photos (and ended up about 1:20 scale I think).

As we've been discussing, the basic structure is a hexagonal box (mostly sheet sides with lots of strutwork inside), four thruster outriggers (sheet structures), and a forward outrigger (struts) for the radar altimeter.

Normal NASA styling includes lots of boxes&etc. stuck on where needed for balance.

So far, outriggers may be just a bit too long, the thruster angles need some more work, scale needs to be confirmed, radar altimeter housing needs to be reworked, various "stuck on bits" need redrawn for accuracy and detail, ... OK, let's just say we're not done yet.

Artistic license or just a lack of talent?

Merzo,
Anything I do without an actual dimensioned drawing is a caricature. I measure photos for dimensions, but I do not do the detailed calculations for optical compensation. This one was drawn by eye with the final scale checked from this picture - if the aeroshell is 4.5m across the bottom then the descent stage is about 1.25m across the central hexagon from the front to back face.

So, about 1:20 scale. An 80% adjustment (printer or drawing) puts it at 1:24 where you could do a 50% print of the MSL Curiosity Rover and get a pretty good match ...

Yogi
