Most parts have been drawn, now. The pages for the second test build have been printed.
Pictures of the build will soon follow. I'm almost out of glue, I just discovered }-( so this weekend I can glue only a few parts.
Have to wait until Tuesday to go shopping again.......

Here are a few previews :

.

The GIRD rockets were a VERY important part of Russian space travel and actually I am amazed how easily the pioneers are forgotten by the masses.

Korolev and his team, Goddard and Von Braun and their teams...... Without them we might still only be dreaming about flying into space.....
Who knows.....

So, here's my contribution.

(I am also working on very accurate/detailed versions of the Budweiser and Blue Flame Supersonic Cars, but don't tell anyone. It's a secret.....)

Great job, Erik. I am really curious how it will turn out. I love these historic rockets. Like you said, GIRD is a very important piece of history. This is a good contribution to keep the memory of this rocket alive. Make sure you give some info about the rocket on the sheets. Might trigger some more interest... (-:

I also am looking forward to the release of ANS!
