I've gotten the four booster fins completed. I did cover each fin with ca then used Elmer's white glue to adhere the card stock to each fin. The fins are rock hard. Now to paint the booster cluster and attach fins. The Herc is beginning to take shape! Once again, Sandman has done an excellent job designing/fabricating the fin parts. I think I'll use my Dremel to drill small "rivet" holes in both the booster body and fin root. When I've gone that far, I'll post pictures. Maybe I should not be posting the "step by step" build of the Nike Hercules here. Let me know if that's the case and I'll back off, only posting pictures of the end result. I'm sure most here have built many rockets and this is "ho hum". For me this is my 2nd rocket build since the mid 70s and I'm enjoying it. Anyhow, back to my Herc..................
