Cool! Thanks for sharing the fin can files. I just downloaded FreeCAD and was able to load up your model. I am going through their on-line tutorials to learn how to use it. The Model Rocket Building blog has several posts on the Zooch Vanguard Eagle, with the most detailed pictures you can find. It may require some reverse engineering and assumptions about the sizing of the details, but you can use the pictures and known body tube diameters to estimate. Some useful info on dimensions, for example: https://modelrocketbuilding.blogspo...ld-part-16.html "In the instructions, you have the option to make a small camera pod blister. It's a tiny egg shaped bump glued to the upper part of the resin cast nose cone. The finished size is 1/8" w X 3/16" L." https://modelrocketbuilding.blogspo...ld-part-15.html "The nose cone, 1" section of T-55 tube and balsa coupler were assembled dry. I made sure to put the ballast end of the balsa coupler towards the nose cone end. I marked a pencil ring around the coupler at 3/4" from the rear end of the t-55 tube." a couple of close up pictures of the nose in nearly profile side view: https://modelrocketbuilding.blogspo...part-34_26.html https://modelrocketbuilding.blogspo...ld-part-42.html check out the little nozzles: https://modelrocketbuilding.blogspo...ld-part-41.html |

Challenge Completed
Ok Here it is the NC from the Vanguard Eagle , I am likely to do a few more parts for that model . I am thinking I would also like to make a set of nozzles, and readily printed booster pods . https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2876174 |

AWESOME! That looks really great. Many thanks! For helping make parts to clone both of those Eagles! (Screaming and Vanguard) :-) |

I went back to the explorer Aquarius, and made 3 different BT20 tank tube bracing systems. These guys should make the assembly easier and more decorative. Just assemble separate from the main body tube then slide onto the main tube and epoxy into place.
You can find these to download at. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2856923/edit |

Finally got a chance to print out the lunar launch pad, and it looks great! I also have started to try and follow the steps in freecad, and have gotten much farther than my previous attempts at trying to design something. The upgrade advice coupled together with a good order of operations for deign really have been helpful. Thanks again to Scott and everyone on this thread. If you are on the fence about 3D printing; go for it. It really is a lot of fun and has endless uses for this hobby.

If you need specs and pics I have a flown one... It's a neat kit and I did a really detailed beta-build thread on it here on YORF and at the Terribly Run Forum many moons ago... Later! OL J R
