Too true.  In fact, after reading a "Might have been" short story on Goddard
and his experiments in "Liquid Fuel Rockets", I've planned out a whole new
engine compartment.

Well, it looks like the "little bit of sorting" turned out to be a lot more
than I planned.  I think I'll take some good pictures of the finished model
for the contest before I do the comic.  That'll take a lot of extra building
outside the model so it's gotta be one or the other. *Sigh* If only I didn't
have to work, I would have time for all of my hobbies. :)
