I completed the second motor/engine nozzle and both wings last night,
coincedently, while watching Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.
I have both nose cones and the cockpit to complete.

Yep - interesting build. And all that surface detail and panel lines you don't have to paint....

I'm wondering how well all that detail is going to hold up under launch conditions. Quite often the grass is wet where I fly. I hope the ink can take clear coat.

Dependent upon the cardstock weight. If you let the ink really dry into the stock prior to coating then it should be reasonably fixed. I have had to rush a couple in the past and there is a pale blue flush on the cardstock. Nothing really noticeable in direct sunlight, jus tunder bright incandescent and at an angle.

I have heard that the cardstock Semroc uses for the wraps with a glossy coat (Kromekote C1S cast coated stock) holds the ink more cleanly. Have yet to try printing on it though.

Default Cardstock weight

I use #110 cardstock weight mainly. I think I need to find a lesser weight cardstock for the nose cone part of this build.
