Over the years of building rockets it has always been a challenge to find some way of painting them. I've been on the forum for several years now and happy to be part of the family of rocket guys and gals and over the years I've seen a few cool jogs that all of you came up with, but I thought I would share my strange idea.
It actually very simple. Simply pick up any lonely road cone(s) different sizes help and place the airframe over the top and there you have it. In the picture is my PML 3" Bull Puppy and it stays in place pretty well, but it would benefit from a smaller cone. I think this method works best on your 4" and bigger rockets because they will slide further down on the tapered cone. Worried about moving the rocket around...that's easy just get a "Lazy Susan" and place the cone on top or better yet just build one I'm sure of you have some scrap wood laying around. So there you have it. Nothing fancy just an old road cone.
