You know how it is. You've got a favorite rocket design and you can't build just one. But why build exactly the same? There's other possibilities, upscales, downscales, or goonies, to name a few. Here's some of my variations on a theme.

The Centuri Scramjet is an old favorite from my boyhood.

With Blade's permission, I have copied this post over and edited it for this thread.

Thanks, Blades!

A bump to bring this new thread to the top
 
My "pre-digital" clone. This was the first rocket I was able to call my own as I did everything including the decal. :rolleyes::D Then I hung it in a tree. I think this pic is from 1981, and IIRC, the rocket was 13mm powered to get rid of the external engine hook.

This was one of my earlier clones. Flew it to a leafy demise at B6-4 Field. I loved how it steered itself on recovery with those big back fins.

Don't worry about it. It happens. Sometimes I don't even realize there are 2 threads for a while.

The killer is, I went through all 28 pages of the gallery. I'd say I'm not sure how I missed it, but attention to detail is only occasionally possible inside my head.:rolleyes::D

You break my heart! Do you have any idea how much time I spend trying to keep the index up to date?!!!!!!:wink:

Uh....there's an index?
Just kidding. I recently discovered this, so I have no excuse for any more screw ups.:D Not that this will stop me.:rolleyes:;)
Actually, I should add that I'm extremely impressed. I noticed that you had some of the new entries indexed within a few minutes of me adding them. Bravo, baby!
