 Transport Gunship: A Scratch Design / Build

Another Internet inspired design / build. Knocked out a quick Open Rocket model and it looks doable.

An oval formed body and tube fins would really add to the realism. Likely will be a standard front eject configuration.​

USS Einstein NCC-10729... A Scratch Build / Scratch Design

Here's a design by Kenny Irvine Brown, a fella that's a member of Star Trek: Ships Of The Line over on Facebook.

So I've added a ring fin to the back of it to make it stable. Should be a fun build.

The Black Hole Probe Ship - A Scratch Built Upscaled Shorty

Here's a Scratch Built Black Hole Probe Ship (BHPS)... based on a upscaled BT-60. It's got the BHPS look, but it's shorter, 29mm power and a Rear Eject.

I started by building a model of the stock Estes BHPS... then scaled it into the Scratch Build version. Should be a fun build.
