I used a 6 inch fiberglass cone from Performance rocketry, and 6 inch tubes that are wrapped in 2 layers of glass from Giant Leap.. The fins are 1/8 inch G-10 custom cut and bevel on all edges (sharp enough to cut) that are glassed on also.. The couplers have internal wraps of glass for strenght.. All with a 4 inch motor mount. Took my time and got it in at 44 pounds loaded for flight so subtract out a M1850 GG and case , it weighs in at roughly 32 pounds for a 12 foot rocket.. Worked real hard to keep the weight down with a ton of strength. I could fly an N in this thing...
Paint was Black with a gold pearl overspray, and the red is a Gold base with a blood red candy apple applied over it, with 3 coats of clear. Lee is a fantastic painter... The red glows like the light source is under the paint and the black looks like alien metal in the sunshine.
