Sheri's Mercury Redstone

[Steven]

More comparisons...

 

[Steven]

And more.

 

[Steven]

And the main tower motor itself.

 

[Steven]

One more.

 

[Steven]

Next will be sanding down the primer, more putty and prime again repeating this process until the primed surface is flawless.

What do you use for putty?

And what type and brand or primer do you use.

I use Squadron Putty and Testor's Model Master primer.

 

[Steven]

Now the fins will be addressed. Using more green putty to fill everything in.

 

[Steven]

More...

 

[Steven]

Yet more filler here.

 

[Steven]

Around the base ring.

 

[Steven]

The remainder of the fins.

[Steven]

The fins after first sanding of putty.

 

[Steven]

I hope I did not duplicate this.

 

[Steven]

Good! Well, that's about it, nothing much to look at. These will now be shot with primer to see what I've got.

 

[NJRick]

Thanks a lot NJRick!

 

[Steven]

After the second filling with no primer. I've taped off the areas to bring the filling closer to the adjoining surfaces.

 

[Steven]

After tape being removed. I should be going on to prime these pieces next.

 

[Steven]

First coat of primer.

 

[Steven]

You can see where more work is needed.

 

[Steven]

Now I'll finish off the fillets with wood glue.

 

[Steven]

Now the glue has been smoothed out by my finger. Sanding will be next.

 

[Steven]

After the fillet has dried.
