1) Currently in active work: finishing the 1/144 and 1/72 “Hammerhead” models for Fantastic Plastic. These were “printed” via stereolithography… this results in all the accuracy and symmetry to could possibly want, but it also means a really rough surface finish that takes a *lot* of work to clean up.
2) Next on the schedule is physical finishing of the printed “X-15D” parts. This should be pretty easy compared to the Hammerheads, due to simpler geometry.
3) CAD modelling of new nose and aft-fuselage air inlets for a 1/144 conversion kit… converting the Hasegawa B-36 into the nuclear reactor-equipped NB-36H test aircraft. This is to be done for another “garage kit” company. An X-6 *may* follow that.
4,5,6) Competition among CAD modeling of Space Station 5, a large-scale X-15 project and an X-42 desktop display model, with physical finishing of 1/144 “Dragon” parts thrown in there somewhere as well..

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
If you did those in 1:48 scale my buddy phil would kiss you.
A 1/48 scale NB-36H would be kinda big.
Hasegawa B-36? Shouldn’t that be Hobbycraft B-36? Far as I know only Hobbycraft does/did a 1/144 B-36. And while you’re at it, why not do the wings and pods for a YB-60? That’d be even cooler.
> Shouldn’t that be Hobbycraft B-36?
You are correct.
> why not do the wings and pods for a YB-60?
Because nobody has commissioned me to do so.
Anigrand makes a 1/144 YB-60
