very nice hans

20.5in x 18-10 or so, looks like the low version would be a rocket. probably barely needs that rudder too. can the rudder you're using flip up and around - what am i seeing?
i see where bobby sees the s&g heritage, but must too rounded - strip process on a strongback? and round sheers yaks in the future? i bet so - your work is evolving.s&g, production, rounder rockets.

altho you're not the builder i wish she'd put hatch lips under(for a flush hatch), & made the hatch side lines follow the gap between the dark and lt wood-its a natural. (Hey, if you extended the hatch groove further along the sides and inset a small gate slide latch with the little handle folding down the 90 hatch line -it would be another flush hatch latch condition, but real strong too)but its nice and i'm a jerk for mentioning it.

whats next? does your work just evolve around design or do you build these prototypes too? Are you playing w/ any other types of accessories, hardware, or yak possibilites? do you work as well as play or just play?
