Just a few projects I'm working on. I will let you guess what they are. :-)

And a few others I need to get around to...........

Big Scale Models | Military Model Books and Publications

I have now added a Page for Facebook online. You do not have to have a facebook account to view it. However, if you are on Facebook already, there is a full feature FB Rocketfin site as well.

I hope this will help modelers and visitors to Rocketfin to connect with each other, share model projects, and swap some model tips.

Our new Facebook Page | Building Aircraft Model Kits

You never know where a model part will show up. Or know when and how someone will make it, whether it's from resin, to wax casting, to photoetch, to using a lathe.

There is now a company online, Shapeways, where you upload a file and a product can be made, literally produced on demand. The website says it's in Beta, and some items may or may not appeal to modelers. But I think it could be an outlet for those who may want to try it and make something of their own.

There are model products on there, such as a set of valve covers and air cleaners, in 1:25 scale. I also see a set of what may be a set of carbs, and even a small scale car model.

It's hard to say where this will go. I think for model parts, and I mean small parts not available in a plastic kit already, may have a chance with this procedure to get produced. And sell.
