Fun fact: The store owner, Angelo, used to be part of the Canadian Rocketry board! Hence the name, sunward!

I was bored while watching #ModelRocket videos; so I made a freehand / no-math / very-likely-wrong generic Centuri Launch Pad blueprint. Cursed, but enjoy!
Blueprint for a retro model rocketry launch pad.

My Torellian Invader upscale is finally ready for launch at LDRS 44, with days to spare. Seen below it is the original Estes Torellian Invader I built as a kid in the 80s. #modelRocket #rocketry

Note that the pilot is NOT Greedo, who is a trademarked property of Lucasfilm. He is a TORELLIAN.
A green model rocket with tube fins and science fiction details, three inches in diameter and about six feet long. Beneath it is a small version of the same rocket, one third the size of the big one. The rocket is on a workbench in a cluttered workshop.

My #Apollo11 Saturn V shortly before its first launch a few years ago. This thing surprised me by flying as straight as an arrow.

It was a hard build, so I haven't had the guts to fly it a second time, but I should. I can always build another.

A quick little spaceship build using some Saturn V kit parts for a very special family member :)
#ModelRocket #Spaceship #Kitbash #SaturnV
Side view (slight perspective angle) of a model rocket with red, white, baby blue, gray and black colors in alternating patterns. The rear section is mostly gray with two of the fin blisters being red and the other two being gray with baby blue fins. The middle section is mostly baby blue color with 1/8th inch white stripes running lengthwise, spaced about an inch apart (only four stripes can be seen in the photo). The front section is mostly white with some small baby blue and black accents. Attached forward of the front section is the cockpit which is all black and has four front windows which are illuminated from within using blue LED backlighting. One each side of the cockpit are two small white panels with decals that say "81". There are two very long telescopic antennas protruding forward of the cockpit. Not your standard antennas, these are flat, rectangular and angled toward each other (more like paddles almost). They start out black in color but then change to all white after about 1.5 inches. The ship is mounted on a gray 3D printed platform that says "Number 81 - For Aunt Sandy - By CTD 7.8.26". At the rear of the ship are four speed brake looking devices jutting out, each with two white stripes across it. The model is based off of the NASA Saturn V rocket model kit, so it has a round body with small ridge lines running lengthwise and four large thruster nozzles at the rear. Each of the four thrusters is illuminated with UV LED's. The ship's total length is 13 inches and just the front antennas themselves are 4 and a half inches long. At it's widest point (the rear of the ship where the speed brakes stick out), it's diameter is almost 6 inches across. The main body diameter is smaller, at about 2 and 3/8 inches. It is suspended in the air from the mounting base (the back of the ship sits about 2 inches in the air and the front is about 8 inches in the air, so it's resting at an upward angle of about 30 degrees. Hope this helps! Rear view (slight perspective angle) of a model rocket with red, white, baby blue, gray and black colors in alternating patterns. In this view, the four F-1 rocket engines can be seen. They are illuminated inside the nozzle with 12 volt UV LED's, but it's hard to discern in the photo due to the angle (more of a side view than looking right into the nozzles). A decal with the number "81" can be seen on a red fin attached to a red blister bulging out from the rocket's body at the rear of the ship. More of a front/top view of this model rocket with red, white, baby blue, gray and black colors in alternating patterns. In this view, the front antenna "paddles" are very prominent (they take up half the width of the photo). The cockpit windows can be seen - these are illuminated with blue LED's. The ship is very colorful.

I have always been fascinated with getting cameras onto a rocket. Here I show the results of getting two strapped on:

NaHCO3 + HC2H3O2 → NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2. Happy to report the laws of Chemistry and Physics still apply on my driveway #ModelRocket

An Estes Leviathan #modelrocket I shot flying a few years ago. I love this picture - it's my phone background.

My picture, but not my rocket. Flew on an F15-6, if memory serves. A little underpowered, but the flight went fine.

After those successful flights I worked on a new design, intended to look like the Gilmour Space Eris rocket. Some more details of it here: https://aus.social/@spacelizard/114509569089327535

Attached: 4 images The display model that lives in our offices is a variant on a flying model rocket I also designed and 3D printed around the same time. Like the real thing it has still not flown yet. I accidentally killed the camera during assembly and the camera model had been discontinued so it took me a while to find a replacement, and then I never got around to installing it and flying. I really should. #GimourSpace #ErisRocket #ModelRocket #3Dprinting

Progress on the R2D2 #ModelRocket. The detail on the body comes from two large stickers. I was a little worked that after 48 years (much of that time in a hot or cold garage), they wouldn’t work well.

Fortunately, they did. Next up - legs!
