Work in IT and live in Australia πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί Interests include aviation (private pilot), sci-fi, reading (love Pratchett!) and scale modelling. β€œThe real algorithm is the friends we made along the way”

This has been a quick build so far, the little Heller Me-163 Komet in 1/72 scale. First tooled in 1977 it comes with the little Scheuch-Schlepper tractor too. Not hugely detailed but it looks cool with a bit of detailing. It might make an interesting diorama. The Komet could do about 515 kts or 955 kph with its rocket motor but a range of only 19nm or 35km.

The time cover? https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/07/media/time-magazine-elon-musk-cover-trump/index.html

And the Guardian calls it a bromance which reminds of the famous kissing Putin image.

But even Musk must have strategists behind him. The rapid, pre-planned destruction of democracy cannot be his doing alone, he is not good enough for such a complex work, and too often on drugs.
