It doesn't look like much, but the pieces of cardboard, plastic, and balsa you see there will soon be a Pemberton Technologies Screamin' Green Meanie!

This is one I've wanted to build for a long time. It's not a "performance" rocket. It won't go the highest, or the fastest, or anything. But it looks cool and damn it, that's part of why I got into rocketry: rockets just look cool! Especially super retro-futuristic ones like all of Pem-Tech's kits. I'm sure I'll be building more of their kits. They're worth it even for the wit and humor in their instruction booklets. ;)

I got the body tube and fin tubes marked, and the motor mount built up and glue fillets put on and left to dry, and then sanded the leading edges of the fins round and that was it for last night. This isn't a difficult kit but I'm taking my time as I want a strong, good looking rocket that I can fly for many fun launches!
