Now after a hiatus of just over 3 months I've continued work on the Boyce Nike Ajax. This will sharpen my limited skills with working with 3D printed parts to prep me for tackling the Gemini Titan that's on it's way.

As was described by another member on another thread, I first sanded the booster fin can as smooth as possible without removing detail with 220. After 3 coats of high build gray primer and then a heavy buff with #0 steel wool the lines in the plastic are predominately filled and smooth.

The ST-11 tube is epoxied onto the fin can and the upper 3D printed LL is epoxied onto the upper end of the tube. The ST-10 tubes are epoxied onto the sustainer fin unit and the lines are drawnd for the conduits.

I'll continue this when I return from Lexington, KY.

Good night.
