Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Scratch-Built Spaceship!

Here is another scratch build from Adam Savage's One Day Builds

Although Adam Savage has been at it for some time, I am still inspired by watching Adam work. I am still a long way off from Adams skill level, but I do want to move forward and improve my scratch-building skills.

P.S. I had wanted to get to a couple more post last month. I had other projects and a deadline I had to meet. I never go to the posts. Hopefully, I will get to post them this month.

Vintage Hot Wheels Rocket Car

This three wheeled rocket car is a Mattel Hot Wheel toy and measures 1 1/8 by 3 1/4”. It has following markings: Mattel, Hot Wheels, 1979. This model is constructed of a metal and plastic components. Although there is a little wear on the one side of the body it has nothing like the wear of Yellow Banana Flash bus. Perhaps it didn’t get the same attention as the yellow bus, or it was flown more often than it was raced around. As far as I can remember of my own playing habits, vehicles that were pushed and raced often found their way crashing into other toys of the same kind.

Rockets and Rocket Men

This is a rather new topic. I had formally combined Sky Pirates with Rocket Men, but thought that I could provide better coverage if the two were separated. So now I have Sky Pirates and Rockets and Rocket Men as seperate labels.

I am planning on obtaining a few rocket men miniatures this year. Elhiem Figures has a set of 3- 1/72 rocket men that are armed with broom handle Mauser pistols and Drum magazines. Elhiem also has a retro rocket man with a ray gun.

Pulp Figures offers several sets of U.S. Rocket Corps in 28mm. The sets include five individual miniatures. However I am leaning toward the Elhiem Figures because they also have several other miniatures I need for the Mutants and Machine-Guns’ RPG and a miniature that I will use with my Pirates of Mysterious Islands game.

Build your own Stubby Paper Rocket!

I have so many links to material that I thought I would like to make posts; so many links that they have a tendency to get lost in the shuffle. This is my first Rockets and Rocket Men post, a topic I hope to expound on in the upcoming months. The TOR HMS Stubbin has somewhat of a history and there are even a few desktop wallpapers for your computer.

The paper-craft model doesn’t look all that difficult to assemble. There are two files to download, that is the model itself and the illustrated instructions (both files are PDF’s).
