- "Browning" is printed by BA
- "Rocket Launcher" is a sticker I printed then painted over so it blended in better with the crate.
To be honest not sure exactly what it means by 2-Tile Amour. I think its referring to the fact the M6 rockets are armour piercing. It was on the side of the crate I used for a reference.
Went down to beachside to get this shot of the Falcon 9 rocket. This launched from Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The mission was to place 29 starlink satellites into earth orbit.
This rocket pushed through some clouds and then broke free to get into earth orbit. This produced one of the loudest sonic booms heard in awhile along our coast in Vero Beach. The trajectory was right over this area to make that happen!😀

The Durbin Rocket lead by Heisler No. 6 backs out of Durbin Station for its run of the day.
Heisler No. 6 -- (Meadow River Lumber No. 6) – C/N 1591, 1929; Class 90-3. Built by Heisler Locomotive Works (Erie, Pa.) for Bostonia Coal and Clay Products, New Bethlehem, Pa. as No. 20. Heisler 6 Acquired by Meadow River Lumber Co., Rainelle (Greenbrier County) – arrived 1-29-39, first test run 4-10-39; equipped with Radley & Hunter smokestack (1939) and Worthington feedwater heater system (1941); mostly served as MRL’s transfer engine (making turns over the Nicholas, Fayette & Greenbrier to empty/load exchange points between woods mainline trackage); retired from regular service when diesel-electrics went into operation during 2-57; last geared steam locomotive used by MRL. Inspections kept current despite rare use; came to Cass on her own power via the NF&G and C&O Ry, 12-66; introduced into service during Bald Knob Inaugural Weekend, 5-68 (Sunday performance ahead of ex-MRL sister No. 7 as far as Back Mountain Crossing). Entered regular service to Whittaker, 5-69. Because of her speed in comparison to the Shays, served as power for off-line events; the Radley & Hunter was replaced with a diamond stack prior to the 1970 season; work on middle truck and other repairs occurred during 1992-93; rendered out-of-service with a boiler problem discovered in 5-95. Became first subject of a Division of Natural Resources (DNR, the government agency in charge of Cass) boiler replacement program; contract was awarded to Sistersville Tank Works (Tyler County), 10-97; new boiler delivered to Cass, 12-99. Engine was placed in service 5-04.
A side note on the Heisler No. 6, Bill Johnson, Rainelle shop foreman (master mechanic), wrote in his diary on 1-5-42 : "We are working on the Heisler engine. She is a joke. Was [a joke] when it was built and will still be when Hitler takes over." There was no strenuous work for the engine at the clay products company. Meadow River had a lot of trouble with it on steep grades. MRL had difficulty finding gear oil that worked on the Heisler.
On display in Gynn Square at the world famous Blackpool Illuminations is the rocket tram which used to run along the promenade and hopefully will again one day.
Orbital Sciences Antares rocket is scheduled for a 5p.m. launch today from Wallops. Window runs until 7 p.m. Countdown began this morning at 9. Weather forecast looks good. 80% probability of acceptable weather for launch.

Tonight the Rocket Summer played a "secret' Myspace show at the Drunken Unicorn in Atlanta w/ Cartel. I'm so glad I went, seeing The Rocket Summer 2 times in the span of 4 days is pretty awesome.
Edinburgh's Scott Monument, also known as the Gothic Rocket, from the first floor balcony.
The Scott Monument was built to commemorate Sir Walter Scott, one of Scotland's greatest novelists. The Foundation stone was laid on 15 August 1840 (the anniversary of Scott's birthday) and was completed in Autumn 1844. It is 200 feet 6 inches (61.1 metres) high, is made of Binny sand-stone from West Lothian, and cost just over £16,154 (approx. £712,000 today). There are 287 steps to the top where there are magnificent views of Edinburgh and beyond.
The large statue of Scott at the base of the monument in Italian Carrara marble was sculpted by Sir John Steell.
There are 64 statues on the monument, mostly characters from Scott's novels; the other figures are from Scottish history.

I've been drawing illustrations of various launch vehicles for a project I'm working on. They are roughly to scale and include (left-to-right): Ariane 5, Atlas V, Delta II, Delta IV, Falcon 9, HII B, Long March 3B, Pegasus, Proton-M, PSLV, Soyuz-U and Vega.
This rocket engine powered Germany's V-2 "Vengeance Weapon" during World War II. The engine was a technical achievement, using high-speed pumps to move large volumes of fuel into the thrust chamber very quickly. Its design also contributed to American rocketry following WWII.
The V-2's liquid oxygen and alcohol propellants produced a thrust of 56,000 pounds, giving the rocket a maximum range of 220 miles, a ceiling of 50-60 miles and a speed of 3,400 mph. Germany made about 6,000 V-2s during 1944-1945 and launched more than 2,600 against London, Antwerp, Liege, Brussels, Paris and Luxembourg.

A microscale rocket launch facility for Decisive Action on MOCpages. Like it at www.mocpages.com/moc.php/363320 and help me rule the world! MwaHaHaHa *cough* Thankyou.
I tried painting some custom eyes... I actually like these pair on her...
Just look at that sweet little mouth!
Thanks so much for letting me adopt her, Miss Lentil!
The Orbital Sciences Corporation Antares rocket, with the Cygnus spacecraft onboard, arrives at launch Pad-0A, Thursday, July 10, 2014, at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. The Antares will launch with the Cygnus spacecraft filled with over 3,000 pounds of supplies for the International Space Station, including science experiments, experiment hardware, spare parts, and crew provisions. The Orbital-2 mission is Orbital Sciences' second contracted cargo delivery flight to the space station for NASA. Photo Credit: (NASA/Aubrey Gemignani)
Many of you had already guessed, but now I'm telling everyone... I am the Rocket Man ;-)

When in Huntsville, Alabama last week Jeff Schreier showed me his spot for shooting the rocket at the space center. Been wanting to do this for some time. Thanks Jeff!
Techno Classica Essen 2018 - One of the highlights of this year's show for sure was the wonderful 1800 ES Rocket Concept. It was an internal design for a shooting brake version of the 1800 and later given to Frua in order to refine and finally build it.

Rocket, the adorable, vicious little creature, is willing to guard Baby Groot with his life.
He's up to something, as always!
This is the first picture of Rocket I have taken where I think that she looks her age. Still going strong at 10 years old.
