I had obtained a kit from Sheri’s Hot Rockets 5 years ago. Here I would like to show how I’ve been doing this build.
I would love to see this!
Unfortunately, I’m presently getting ‘403 forbidden errors’ when trying to change my avatar or posting from my own files.
Pieces from New Ware.
Not all pieces will be used for this.
Three of the four resin fin shrouds were warped from the manufacturer.
I had tried using a tube of the same diameter as a mandrel and using a heat gun managed to remove some of the warping. However, the results didn’t straighten them out entirely. I canned them and chose to build them from scratch.
Using the pattern from the kit I simply traced four of these on a single tube.
End result.
Using the same pattern, I made marks at the bottom and pinholes at the top of each shroud. Then using masking tape I connected them.
With the fin loosely attached.
Now using 1 mm. stringers I began gluing them down using CA.
