1:59 Saturn I Block 2 (2003-2008) -- After failed attempts to finish the model for NARAM-46 and NARAM-47, the Saturn I finally flew to 1st place in Team Division at NARAM-50.


1:165 Saturn I Block 2 (2003) -- Josh's 1st place Peanut Sport Scale entry built for ECRM-30 (C Division).

1:7.3 Iris (2002) -- Jess's first ever Sport Scale entry, winning 3rd place in C Division at RAMTEC-10.

1:17.5 Black Brant XII (2002) -- First official entry by Josh in NAR Sport Scale.  Model took 2nd place in C Division at RAMTEC-10.  It later won 1st place in Team Division Giant Sport Scale at NARAM-47 in 2005.

1:13.44 Aerobee 350 (1990-2001) -- Josh's first attempt at a competition scale model.  Due to scale data inconsistencies, this model was not completed beyond a "boilerplate" version (see also Aerobee 350 NARTS scale data project).

1:22.5 Aerobee 350 (1990) -- Josh's first effort to model the Aerobee 350, culminating in a mostly-painted, but undetailed sport model flown once early in 1991 (at my first Vikings club launch).  A lot of effort went into paint color experimentation to match the flourescent colors of the real thing (without much success).  Staging was accomplished by a length of fast Thermalite running from the booster motor nozzle to the upperstage motor, ignited by the booster's exhaust.  The delay was a bit much, as the rocket arced over uncomfortably before upperstage ignition; however, the rocket was recovered safely.
