A while back I promised that I'd send pics as soon as I was at a point I could... here is a quick collage of pics...
top left: Fireball as it stands so far...a little longer than scale...no forward fins, no forward "nozzels," no canopy on the top side, no nosecone canopy....but I'm working on it! The architect's scale indicates the size.
top right: underside of the Fireball...I used a very thin corrugated board for the "cooler section" and scored it with a ball point pen and a metal ruler...the gap is for the launch lug...you can see that the fin sections are too thin to be scale, but that's ok with me
bottom left: topside of the aft part of the ship...I had carved the tail cone and attached small stirrer straws for the nozzels...next time I'm going to BMS for the tail cone!
bottom right: my first attempts at molding a canopy...I intend to cut the nosecone (eeek!) and finish the nose "interior."
I'll let you know how it all comes out
