Default Estes Nebulon Warrior clone

I had an Estes Nebulon Warrior when I was younger. It was only launched once (a horizontal catastrophe that sent my friends and I ducking for cover) but it was still my favorite rocket. I just thought it looked so cool.
I recently got back into rockets and while doing searches online for a N.W. I came across Jim Z's site and all the plans. Not being able to find an original Estes kit, I decided that it was time for me to take my first step into cloning (or scratch building or whatever. I'm not clear on the correct terms. All I know is I had to track down the pieces instead of getting them all together in a nice bag. Ha!).
I got the body tubes and rings from Semroc, the Balsa from Micheals Hobby, and picked up an Estes Viking to steal the nose cone.

I still have to print out and apply the decals (and yeah, I know I could have done a better job with the sanding sealer on the fins) but here it is in it's current state











Hopefully this one will go UP
