I love Oli's builds.  I wish I could get his bigger kits in kit form.  Until then, I will stick to Hobbes's parts!

1/72 F9 Block 3 vs. Block 5 (still needs updates, such as black primary raceway, etc. Still waiting for the "final" version as seen on the pad before I make any updates)

Starship/Superheavy 1/144 prototype number 1. Had to build this kinda testbed to pinpoint the weak points in order to evolve it into a useable production version. Still needs some (mostly internal) structural improvements. Hopefully the next version will be it! :)

This is 1:50 model. It is not very detailed as it is a flight model using nine motors for launch.
