There is a new breath spray that looks like a trigger with guard that could be attached to a prop.

Some doctors offices have these nice long conical pens that are specially made. I wonder who does them.

A couple more websites: www.popitplug.com If you call, they will give you a free one--used to cap PVC pipes. There is a new pen called the BIC Smoothie 1.2 This pen looks just like an ENT-E era warp nacelle (even the clicker is inclined like the aft of one) and can also be used for a craft all it's ...

In one of those Carol Wright/ Dr. Leonard catalogs (mainly for older folks) is a meat tenderizer with a plate that retracts on srings like an Orion pusher plate. It might be good for an Orion base--with the spikes trimmed. Click for Link At my local store some large dome shaped bowls are available.

I have old bottles of the stuff. One bottle is stringing and filaments flyabout--real easy to get in your eye. I wonder what got in it.

I seem to remember black light at rodeo events. I wonder why.

The ring fin set is good scratch material.

I can't believe they had a two-stage water rocket there.

Over at WalMart I found the small light that go on your tires valve stem which blink. There are some nice air freseners that look like outsized, particle filled nacelle globes with an Leggs look at the back ther--and some generic mini light-sabers in blister packs for nacelles.

I would have liked to see small plastic replicas of actual flying rockets--a 1/1000 USS Atlantis TOS how 'bout a USS Atlantis Refit?!?! http://www.siriusrocketry.com/sirius00.htm A bit steep--and a bit big. But it looks to be in about 1:350 scale as well. Its more chunky nacelles might make for a g...

OT--But The listerine strips themselvs might make for interesting monitor screens with soft light behind them.

I have those in my new flashlight. It seems blue--but looks bright up close.

I got a plastic glue stick (yellow tube) that just fits the clear/blue (nebulizer?) cap that is perfect for Sea Dragon. A spool with the rims cut off serves as the stumpy first stage. (The cap of the first stage is a dead ringer for that blue breather cap (that comes in a cup that blocks a hole some...

I have some I pulled out from some tiles. Hey Vila--float me over some grout--and get Norm Abrahm on those OMS pods!

Where's "second" Story Musgrave when you need him?

Cool!

Here are some suggestions. I went to Acadamy Sports and Outdoors and found interesting Ping-Pong balls and lightup Golf Balls. Several Rows over were plastic cones that could be warheads--and wide disks that were stumpy cones with a hole up top as wide as that liquid air-freshener in the auto dept.....

I stopped by the Dollar Store and looked around not long ago. There was a bird feeder with two clear plastic domes that were shallow. At the movie theater where I saw ROTS--I noticed very small clear half-spheres that are smaller than the usual globes that hold little toys out of machines. These sma...

I've found that CA doesn't allow the fibers to flex. They become brittle at the glue joint, and the tension from the curved fiber trying to straighten itself out is enough to break it off. Some folks have recommended 5 minute epoxy, but as in your case, that wouldn't work for me. So I used hot glue...

I have a lot of parts but could not take some of my metal creations on the plane without it looking like a bomb.

Plastic floats are useful.

No Idea where that came from- (scratch, scratching my head)

No--it was made for models.

Eveyone knows it eats wood!

Good advice.

Great work on a great workhorse. Could be thought of as 'the other guys' since it is a one off utility vessel.

It was a fan design from years ago, and I have been trying to locate a good pic for years. The design even made it into a DC trek comic years back. It was a name of some Starfleet chapter or other. I tried a websearch with no luck. You might have a go. The design has no roll bar, and the pylons go d...

With some scratch pylons you can build the Chandley-like La Grange.
