foamyesque Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Everybody's used to Jebediah, the grinning Thrillmaster, but what of Jebediah, the shrewd businessman whose entrepreneurial cunning and ruthless exploitation of all and sundry keep the KSP going?

robotroadkill Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 IRL KSP!I give you my first (and probably only) real-life Kerbal-inspired Estes mod, HarvesteR I. This is based off of this rocket I chose the mini max because the nose-cone is made of balsa and could be carved to make the command module. Please note I have no proper carving tools or skills, just an exacto knife and some sandpaper. The fins had to be slightly modified and they're still too big, but I'd rather have a stable flight than an exact kerbal replica. The 'paint' job was done by printing texture maps onto adhesive shipping labels.Finally, if anyone's curious, the rockets in the back are the comanche (orange one) and the patriot missile (with custom fins and retro paint job (both are Estes kits).

I built that same triple stage rocket too (in the back of the pic)... on that note be sure that the first 2 stages are the 'multi-stage' engines or else they won’t ignite the next stage... and then you have a meter long rocket with no cute... falling towards the ground like a returning bullet... with you and your friends running arround in panic mode trying to find covernot that I’m speaking from experience or anythingVery cool! Watch out that it doesn't careen off the launch pad or esplode.and dont worry! he's got a S.A.S. on there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, that happened even though I used the proper engines. Actually, it went up about 800 feet, then tipped over about 90 degrees and flew horizontally away from us for the rest of the burn. the nose cone popped off, but I didn't wrap the streamers tight enough so they jammed and weren't ejected. From far away it looked like it was coming down like a missile. Amazingly the end of the tube was only slightly damaged, I found all the parts, and it'll see a second launch.

Andras Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Yeah, I never found the main stage after launching mine. I got the 2 booster stages back, and they fit into the rear of another rocket I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
