A Typical Day at Odd'l Rockets, Part 2


Continuation of May 11, 2022 at Odd'l Headquarters- 
I boxed up a pretty good sized order for ERockets.
Well, a good sized order for me anyway.

I weighed and measured the box. Randy was emailed and a label was sent. This was dropped off at a nearby UPS Store.





Back home again - 
Four Quest Sport models (Two show, two flying versions) got their parachutes tied in and stickers were applied. 


Starting on the next Quest builds - four new Icarus kits.
The only drag on this build is each rocket has two parachutes - eight chutes in total. Quest chutes have to be cut out and assembled.

I don't mind making parachutes - but eight in one sitting? Oh well, dive in!






Earlier in the afternoon I shot the Mars Snooper II build with a final white undercoat. Things look good, it's now ready for the gloss red. Well, after the white paint sets up for 48 hours.





Eight additional Break-Away kits were bagged up in addition to the ones that went out in a vendor order. I always make extras trying to cover upcoming orders.

It's 1:00 a.m. - Post the next day's blog entry.
Time for bed!

  1. Hi Chris,
    That's a long day, even for someone who loves the hobby. You weren't kidding about being busy.
