I hadn't realized how obsessed I'd get with building rockets. But with my second build, I started photographing most of what I was doing. Here's my second build - Estes' Crossfire ISX. Notice I did a different paint job than the standard - to differentiate from Chad's Crossfire.
Here, you'll see my first mistakes - which I learned from, and happily did not repeat on my second build.
Enjoy the obsessiveness!
I just looked at this post again, for the first time in a long time. I hadn't seen these pictures in about a year or more. Wow, have I changed the way I do things!
ReplyDeleteThe amount of glue mess I made in this series of pictures made me cringe a little bit. And the wood filler, all over the rocket! Ack!
But it turned out alright, and I'm still proud of the nose cone, and I still have the rocket.
It's fun to document your builds and look back at them later. I recommend it!
