Heres my first cardstock rocket. I wanted to try one. It was fun and a CHEAP way to add a rocket to my fleet.

Welcome to my world
ScottyDog,
Welcome to my world. I'l been doing cardstock models for years. I love it. I'm currently working on a launchable Colonial Viper paper rocket. Daniel |

Nicely built! :) How did construction go? I know those fins can be a pain, but they sure do work! :) |

Show off... LOL Seriously, Bob has one of the nicest collection of card stock models I've ever seen! |
I love those rockets. I've built several. I had one that probably made 20+ launches before the dampness of an early morning flight finally did it in. I built a few for a scout launch that was confined to a small tree-lined site to avoild losing more expensive rockets. One thing that is real nice about them is they give a very high performance flight on an A motor. B motor puts them almost out of site.
Oh, the fins.....I didn't find they were a problem at all. One trick is to score the lines before you fold. I typically use one of those very small screwdrivers, the kind used for working on small electronics, etc. |
Score!

I use a clay modelling tool that has a rounded point on one end. I also always use a metal ruler when scoring or cutting parts out. A dried up ball point pen can be used to score card as well, but I've always found that they tend to drag on the paper a bit because of the ink residue. You can also find small burnishing tools and scribers at art supply and hobby stores. Greg |
Good build
