spaceagent-9 projects

okay, with the stand and the steps, this should do it. just print the topx2 and use the outer rim, flipped over on the bottom, to make the shell sit on top of the bottom right.

[spaceagent-9]

well here is something to have anyway. remember to print top x2 so you can make the double sided rim, flip #2 print over and glue it to top 1 print edge rim. then glue bottom parts to that bottom double edge rim underside.

i inverted the colors on this and made it more silvery

I really like the result of the good effort you've gone to with this FoTN craft, Jim my friend!
Each iteration has been an improvement and yet has retained the elegant simplicity you intended.
And, as with so many of your designs, this UFO is a unique craft in a growing collection of rarities. This too is greatly appreciated by your fans, myself included.

Thank You for your unique and valuable contributions to this rapidly growing model category.

Kind and Respectful Regards Jim my friend, Uyraell.

thanks bro, I really live for compliments! and to be honest, this stuff bugs me until I get it done. im sure many of us are like that, and I realize that I trail behind the greats, but I try to make my models have at least uniqueness and character.
I appreciate those of you that build my makes. I hope that it fills the gaps that I sense and need done, all these years, so young, sitting in the laundry room watching tv, raining outside, the world of Irwin allen or sid and marty kroft on the inside......a few of the only books like ,flying saucers are real! incident at Exeter, and so on. kind of a paper model tombstone left behind....lol!

here is something I drew up and made, like I said, these things bug me until I get them out there.

go to the moon, mars and beyond!!!!!

off we go into the wild blue yonder
flying high, into the sun!
here they come, ready to meet our thunder!
at them boys, give 'em the gun!
we live in fame, or go down in flames!!
nothing can stop the army air core!!!

as a veteran, I honor those who fell in service to the citizens of our great planet.
THANK YOU.
AMEN.

kept on fooling around until I made this up.

What you've done here is something I regard as rather special, Jim My Friend.

The Aurora Project has usually been portrayed as N.E.O only, despite oft-published assertions that (for parallel example) the Flight Suit worn by SR 71 Crews was as capable of taking them to the moon as the Flight Suits worn by Shuttle Astronauts.

By shifting Aurora from N.E.O to space-voyage-capable you combined two of the Tech-SciFi authors' "Holy Grails" in as much as various portrayals of Lifting Bodies and SSTO craft have been employed in both Earth and Mars SciFi fiction stories for many years, yet each has been mostly based in technology regarded either as currently available or nearly-so.
That you have set Aurora within this context is (to me at least) a new thing, and well within the bounds of reason.
Which makes the concept thoroughly enjoyable from my perspective.

Thank you Jim for sharing such a delightful new perspective, from a highly original basis, as is Aurora within this context.
And Thank you also for sharing such a neatly portrayed model.

Kind and Respectful Regards Jim My Friend, Uyraell.

no problemo dude!!

i'm glad you like them!
that's interesting what you said, I think it was in war of the worlds,the second invasion that some kind of orbital jet fleet went to attack mars and rescue prisoners, but I got the idea from some tv movies, called '' the aurora project'' I think there was more than one.
