Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun


I love taking pictures of models outside, especially on a sunny day. Sometimes it’s nice to take in the sky, particularly if there’s some  interesting cloud formations.


Here’s a few showing my SWORD Booster Rocket and it’s Launch Pad.


I just think it’s great fun to experiment. There’s an anticipation in that you never know what  the end result is going to be.

I love the way the sunlight glances off creating those nice lighting effects.



Anyway, I hope you folks like them.

I love the way the perspective, set up against the sky, gives the Booster whole new grandeur. Majestic Mike!

Nice launch tower too.

Stunning Mike. Century 21 should have issued the stand as a toy and taken you on as a toy designer! Brilliant, just brilliant.
