That sounds amazing! Made of paper? Do you have the plans for that? I'd love to build something like that! The servos, batteries, radio controls, etc. are so small these days that it wouldn't be difficult to install those and make it fully controllable!

I love your workbench. It's so clean and organized! And your ships look amazing!

That's an incredible amount of detail! How many man-hours do you think it would take to build the LUT? I've always wanted to build a Vostok or Soyuz on a launchpad, but this looks like the winner of all launchpads!

That looks fantastic! An upscale of this look like it would make a great RC parkjet, either with an EDF or a pusher prop... Thanks for contributing this wonderful model!

That's a fantastic idea! Thanks for sharing this! I've tried to do something like this in the past when I used superglue for my paper models - I would first glue them together, and after it dried and held together I would add a little more superglue, sand, and repeat as necessary to fill in any...

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronaut_Badge 80 km or 50 miles is the threshold to cross, and Felix didn't make it to half that altitude (24 miles). More interestingly, the rating of "commercial astronaut" has been awarded to the two SpaceShipOne pilots...

Thanks for the welcome! I'm happy to be a member of the forum. I'll also see if I can build/post anything over the upcoming holiday break... I don't think I have much to show, but I think I still have an old build of Loe Cherkashyn's space shuttle Buran. The Energia booster never quite...

Thanks for the response Zathros! Sure enough, I looked up paper flying aircraft and got some good results - a couple of prop planes and a pretty cool SR-71: http://vimeo.com/4938640 I'm not sure how well outdoor paper/cardstock planes would hold up if they crashed... so I guess I'd have to try...

Does anyone here have experience with 2-part polyurethane foam? This stuff: http://www.shopmaninc.com/foam.html I was thinking it may be good to use in paper models to provide a bit more structural support, and perhaps make otherwise flimsy paper aircraft models RC-flight worthy (just...

Hello! I'm new to this forum so I'm not quite sure how it works - all I know is that there are a ton of awesome things to build and I love building. Specifically, I'm interested in modern tactical/strategic aircraft, spacecraft, rockets... anything that can be painted in an awesome New...
