Busy times have left me little time with trying to do some of my hobbies. But this New Years I made myself a resolution to "try and get one model done every 2 months." so of course Jan. flew by and now I have just a few weeks of Feb. left to get something done. Before I ruin my resolution before it even starts I've picked Fantastic Plastic's Rocketship Friede - http://www.fantastic-plastic.com/RocketshipFriedePage.htm . From the FP site - -
"In 1927, in the wake of his stunning success with his sci-fi opus "Metropolis," German director Fritz Lang decided his next movie would be a sprawling silent melodrama based on mankind's first trip to the moon. To make his movie as technically accurate as possible, Lang enlisted the aid of already-famous spaceflight cheerleader Wiley Ley who, in turn, corralled Romanian-born rocket pioneer Hermann Oberth into the project. The centerpiece of Lang's new feature, "Frau im Mond" ("The Woman in the Moon,") was the spaceship "Friede" (named after the movie's titular character), based on the Modell E rocket from Oberth's treatise "Die Rakete." An extra stage was added to the E, making the "Friede" longer and more cylindrical than its predecessor, but keeping in place the rectangular "legs" that provided support and aerodynamic stability for the spacecraft."
So we'll see you in a day or two as I will post some WIP pics.
