That looks like a cool book - I remember one from my childhood that had a delta spacecraft (a bit like an imperial destroyer from Star wars, though not as big) with RAAF roundels in it/on the cover.

I've also seen a Millenium Falcon modified to have RAAF roundels.

Yeah they are really neat. I always keep my eye out for Terran Trade Authority handbooks

[Sisko]

I have a couple. Wished I'd picked them up back when they weren't so rare. I have managed to find them at 2nd hand book stores.

How much have you done on this baby since you are now back on the road?

Nothing I brought it and the RoT Diamondback but last thursday was the first time I realized that the Profiles Tribute GB had been extended and since I had finally found a MiG 15 to go with my Gina at the DFW Supercon I decided to build MiGina the second and had just started the dang thing when they told me I had to be in Fresno. :banghead:I have only had time to work on the MiGina . When I get it finished I will start back on the spaceships.

The TTA books fired my liking for both Sci-Fi and Sci-Fi fantasy art - I've still got all of them on my bookshelf (bit battered now though). There are several website devoted to them: probably your best bet is to go to this Wiki entry and follow the external links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terran_Trade_Authority

Everyone's got their own favorite, havn't they? I always liked the Avery-Frost Orion: cabin-cruiser, sports car and starship rolled into one! 

[sotoolslinger]

Yeah one of the projects I have planned is an F-5 with the wings of a Draken. I plan on it staying a jet and being RoT but it is very tempting to paint it up like the Alphan Manta

Hey Ron,
I've been backtracking the Forum threads looking for Whiffies nominations.  Did you ever finish this one? 

[sotoolslinger]

Where is the embarrassed smiley.....the answer is no it is currently a zombie. It quit talking to me and I have so many other projects going it got put on the back burner. I seem to have a mental block finishing sci-fi projects.
