Redstone Tower
Quote:
Just got to finish the tower structure. Perfect triangle, means ok job. It’s not as hard to build as many think. ( tho I did use some irregular words) ! Just Go Slow. Anyway, this is my progress as of now. It’s like the "ole building a bridge from both sides" thing, hoping they’ll join in the middle. I Had to stop to address other things,,, and rest. Still,, alls looking good. Ready to paint the BT and fins,, maybe tonight,,, hopefully a pic in next session. Are you looking, CHAS ?? Redstone is white.... A dowel fit perfectly on my electric fingernail file, so a 30 second run with a sanding block netted me a quick Jettison Motor Nozzle. Perhaps I should try this on my fingernails ! ******* Jettison nozzle in place,,, a bit of extra glue for strength, tho it’s pushed inside about 1/4”. Glue will also make for a smoother finish. Hey, I’m getting close to being Done here ! ******* Painted the tower & escape motor...... Painted body , tower. Needs final touch up and decals. OH NO,,, I tested a small section and they Disintetgrated ! But I sprayed them with Decal bonder and the other test pieces worked. Gotta let it rest and dry. Still looking good,,, pray for those DECALS !,,,,,Chas ?!......... ( I put test piece on the Alpha I’m working on, did good. On left is piece that fell apart......)

The fin fillets are supposed to be carved/sanded concave.
Looks great.

LOL, not me. It's an ice hockey slice and dice. Though I probably would give it a shot and see if I could keep it closed before wasting time and money on stitches.

....all that intricate tower work and he comments on my mat. ...hmmm. It’s ok jeffyjeep,, wish I had a dollar for every kit I ever built on that thing ! Just don’t have the heart to replace it. Thanks for your comment. I did get to paint the Redstone white yesterday. Slow progress, but that comes with getting old. Chas, the tube shows lines from that clear , but won’t be a biggie. Certainly a much better job than my first at age 11 ! Pic on other post.....
