I like it! Very "Buck Rogers"-esque (and Wallace & Gromit "A Grand Day Out," too). James Wilson Dallas, TX (20 years ago, 27-Jan-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) I like this a lot. Those old-style rockets have always had a certain look to them... its nice to see a MOC of one. This is cool- an almost mini-rocket. The smooth shape is cool, yet the simple details like the cockpit, the steps leading up and (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) (URL) Captain Crash, pilot of the Red Rocket 2> Gives it a big thumbs up! Getting a canopy on a shape like that is extremely challenging! Can't wait to see more. -Sean (20 years ago, 28-Jan-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Sean, Thanks, you can't tell from the picture, but there's a tiny gap between the canopy mounted horizontally, and the swing open door. The canopy also opens a little, it's on a hinge, but too much throws off the whole alignment. The spacemin (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) John, Thanks for your kind words. Greeblies are hard to pull off on this kind of MOC, though when I make a large one, I can add all sorts of Deco-ish spires and projections and fins. I need a better picture of the inside of the door, there's a (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Hey George, It took me a minute to figure out how you did the ladder leading the pilot's seat. In a word, AWESOME. I hope I can remember that one for the future. Super cool! The only thing missing is the smoke coming out of the engine and then (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jan-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) It is very Buck Rogers, or Duck Dodgers if you prefer, but it reminds me of both of their kinds of craft nevertheless. Say, if you have some room, and a snail-mail address, perhaps you would be kind enough to let me send some of my ideas to (...) (20 years ago, 30-Jan-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) Dave, Thanks, but I must admit I borrowed that ladder idea from someone else's space MOC about two years ago. It was a good fit when I changed orientation of the cockpit. Someday when I have the free time I should add lots of smoke and such (...) (20 years ago, 30-Jan-04, to lugnet.space)
