Looks amazing. How is the faux cockpit glass done? Vinyl?

 

[billeblurzz]

Yes it’s vinyl and came out surprisingly well. I usually have trouble with stretching over a compound surface but this one came out perfectly!

AMAZING!

Forgive me if my memory is off, but isn't it "Skonk Wulf"?

NICE video.

Been playing it back and forth in slow mo, almost unreal how perfect that launch is. Looks like advanced CGI!

Shrox always had some of the coolest designs. I wish he would come up with a couple of new ones. They couldn't possibly dissapoint!

CG?…Center of Gravity?…it must be spot on cause for a short/stubby/large finned rocket it flew straight as an arrow!

Unfortunately, his last designs (Ibis, Sea Sting, and Johnny Star Commander) that came out as a full kit were in the 2013/2014 time frame. I am not aware of any new kits since then.

Did you build this from a kit or plans? I got the plans years ago when there didn't seem to be any kit available.

I built a few of his designs and they were good. Only one didn't fly right and that was the Sara Connor. In all fairness though, I think Shrox said it was a "concept design" but several of us tried it and it was a challenge. There used to be a pinned thread of all of the Shrox designs but I haven't seen it in a while.

Are you thinking of this? https://www.rocketryforum.com/threads/some-remembered-shrox-kits.47961/

The Shrox "USS Sarah Conner" ... talk about futuristic sci-fy... awesome.​
