Sometime in 2000 I got back into the hobby. I’ve always loved building models, and rockets are fun as you can fly them. I had close to a dozen rockets when I left the hobby. My girlfriend was moving in, and I needed to get rid of some stuff. The wall that I kept these on became her computer/work area. I gave my fleet to my brother who was going through a tough time, so I thought these might cheer him up. There were only a few rockets that I wanted to keep, but alas I did not have a lot of space so I gave him almost everything. I kept the Space Shuttle and the USS Enterprise.
In 2006 I went to the hobby show, where they were giving away free stuff at some booths. I managed to acquire three Estes FLASH rockets, which I really did not want as I thought it might re-ignite the rocket bug...well it did. I have been collecting and building them since.
As time has gone by, I have gained some modeling experience. This current fleet is better than my previous one in many ways because of this. I own an airbrush which I use often, I learned the secrets of thinner glues, ie, Tamiya extra thin and Tenax-7R, and I take time to fill in gaps and such.
I hope you enjoy looking at my rocket hobby, and perhaps get an interest into it yourself!
