Thread: Rocketship Mark VI

Good to see you back doing some toy making Bret. Great looking rocket. However I am a bit worried about Marvin wearing a skirt and am sure Andy will soon get over it.

FANTASTIC Bret.
Way Kool Rocket.
It looks like Marvin's the man.
"Today the workshop tomorrow the world!"

Great stuff mate.

Cheers
Trev.

Very good to see you back in the woodwork shed making toys Bret!!!

I know the Chev Pickup has taken up a heap of time over the past year, along with 2 little blokes who will always demand attention as they grow.

How did you manage time in the shed with such an extremely busy time you'd be having at work this time of year.

Anyways, the Rocketship looks Great and the helper is just the icing on the cake....adds to the fun, well done....

Handy knows how Andy is feeling as I've been struggling with being organized and motivated enough to get stuck into my next couple of projects..

Thanks for all the beaut photos.. Cheers, Peter

Thanks Derek. Didn't notice he had a skirt on til you mentioned. No wonder Andy passed out.

Thanks Peter. I have been working in the shop at home almost every night. Working on some new cabinets for the big garage, some tool organizers, and I am making frames for all my car posters I have on the wall. The cooler weather definately helps motivate me.

Couple of pics of other projects.

Bodywork almost done on the 64' cab.


The interior is painted.





Cabinets


Tray I made to organize all my cans with toy making/scale model tools.



Picture frame for car posters. Have about 10 more of these to make.



Miter sled I made to make the picture frames with perfect miters.

WOW Bret, You sure haven't been wasting too much of your spare time....
the Chevy is starting to look good, I still want a drive when she's finished....
Cheers, Peter

Hi Bret, cool rocket there....since I'm building train I spotted train in the background of your pictures, is there thread around where you're building it?
Keep up the good work buddy

Is there a thread for Bret's magnificent train....
YES and it is WOW!!!
Won't pinch Bret's thunder just create some excited intrigue.
I'm sure Bret show it to you...it's a beauty...

Can't believe it has been over 2 years since I finished.

Rocketship Mark VI is done. All packaged up and on its way to its new owner. I hope they like it.







It has Marvin's seal of approval. "Ready for Flight".



Andy finally came back around.

Just love these rockets mate "So Kool"
I was just wondering if you'd ever thought of making one with a flame coming out of it.
You could connect it to a launch pad if you know what I mean!
Great stuff.

Cheers
Trev.

Great collection of rockets there Brett!!!

A case of "Thunderbirds are go!!"

The finish you've used Bret has sure brought out the grain and colours in the timber beautifully....very nicely done sir, Peter

Very well done.

Thank you guys for all the great comments. I am happy to say the Rocketship touched down in Merry old England to my good friend Rian. Here is a picture he just took with a shop helper I sent over as well.
