This is awesome!  :bow: Wouldn't want to be at the helm when the pilot puts the pedal to the metal, though.  ;D

Another pic. This time from Modellversium's tour of the MSC HANS GRADE 2009 SHOW.

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

...I wouldn't want to be the one loading the T and C-Stoff into the Me-163 in a pitching sea. One spill and it's the Wicked Witch of the North's famous line--"I'm Melting!"
My mind is like a compost heap: both "fertile" and "rotten"!

That's an awesome idea...and build ! I'd like to see it on a water base, tho....really add to the aura.

I wouldn't want to be loading them full stop.

I wouldn't even get near the boat.

It looks really neat but I'm not sure why you'd want to put the launcher on a turn-table though, turning the boat into the wind would be all you need.

Perhaps the modeler was trying to overengineer the thing?  :wacko:
