Hello from the Maritimes

[coverstock convert]

Hello all, my name's David and my son recently wanted me to draw him a rocket. So I did, then made a Saturn V out of a kitchen roll because frankly I cannot draw to save my life, but I can make things. He liked that so much I'm branching out a little. I've been modelling in plastic for years, but that's easy with no kids. Now I'm looking for something that's still fun and a challenge to build but is a bit cheaper to replace if it gets 'played with'. I had no idea paper models were so well detailed these days - there are some fantastic designers around. So that's why I'm here and thanks for having me.

PS It's also nice to find something different to do once the Formula 1 season's finished and it's -20 outside.

Welcome, David! Glad you found us - and a rocket for your son. Check the download section (space and toys sections) for some rockets he can (help?) build - though I'd wait until spring to try the stomp rockets (plastic bottle - cold - brittle).

Welcome to you & your son. I'm sure you will both find much of interest here.
