Launch was cancelled this weekend, so I got a bunch of projects finished, the Sigma II being one of them. Trying to brush paint spray paint is far from optimal, and the results are now in the "looks good from ten feet" category. I still have some silver to touch up, and some decals to apply, but it's not going to be a beauty queen. Also found the decals and applied them to the Estes Super Vega. I applied the big fin decal first, and thought it looked a little lost. The decals were waterslides that I'd made after scanning the original stickers, and all of them seemed to come out about 25% smaller. I have to find the originals and see if I screwed up or if all of the decals are small. Another one that will look great on the pad, not so much when subject to a detailed inspection. I also finished my second Estes Monarch (the first one was treed before I got the decal applied,) and printed off the decals for the 1:1 Estes Goonybird Missile Toe. Today I'm picking up a paint pen to draw on the bandages, so I should be able to finish the decals on that one this week.

Calling this one done except for touch ups. Anyone want to hazard a guess on where I got my decals?

Nah, everything came from the Estes Shrike decal sheet. For some reason I have several of them in different sizes around here.

I was going to guess you scanned the new Little Joe II decals and resized and printed them red. Looks great Bill! I know that Rustoleum Black Night Metallic gave you fits but I still love that color.

Volume 1 #10 of the Rocketeer Collectors Journal has a profile view of the rocket, it’s a Dimensioned engineering style drawing from an earlier version of the Astronautic Modeler. I got the journal recently and this is the first time I looked at it. The rocket could be scaled from the drawing if it is accurate. It has the fin span and fin profiles. If anyone else wants to clone this I recommend the journal.
