Fun project and video, Rick! I wish you the best in the contest!

That’s a winner for sure. Nice how to video with explanation.
If I had a lathe, I would make a few of those…................

Cool video Rick. Thanks for the Flash Gordon flashback. Nice work and good luck.

Super cool project. I’m with doubleDD – nice flashback to TV’;s Flash Gordon. The special effects were just as high tech as your’s. You won’t remember cuz it was black and white TV. It was a talky though.

Very well done and fun project. Your daughter sounds pretty happy with it.

I didn’t get the video on my page! I’ll have to try the PC as opposed to my tablet!

The “Flash Gordon” rocket looks a lot like those from the old serial … except it was in black and white (I have the VHS version)!
