I began building this massive rocketship model in 2015. Five years later it’s time to start finishing what I started: drilling more holes, adding hand-modified hinges, and most notably building a complex and detailed command module starting with a vintage coffee can.
For years off and on I had been asking weld shops for retired tanks, but without much luck; so when Derek from the Artisan’s Asylum donated four spent SCUBA tanks I was ready to build something I’ve been looking forward to for years: A Paul Bunyan Class Rocketship.
TIG welded Rocketship from recycled giant steel hole-saw, and bicycle parts. Bullet headlamp nosecone opens to hold action figure adventurers. Height: 25″ Custom-made for Google
This morning was the installation of the SRS Redbone, at Redbones. Things went well, thanks to Rob Gregory and the ‘do-it-all-guy’, PJ.
