That would be easier than what I'll be doing. I am by far most nervous about the nose cone, and I basically can't even start on it for quite a while.
Looks like the prototype was used for crash testing. I'd say that the analysis will conclude that Max-Q was reached where the rubber meets the road.
doesn't look like a "ready to fly" pencil to me.THAT... is an EX-pencil

I dry sanded. It felt pretty hard, took some effort. My trouble was that I kept sanding through one particular spot, which is why I ended up with four coats.Boy, that came out well. How was that paint to sand? Did you wet sand, or dry sand?
There was one spot where there was a blob that I trimmed off with a knife, but otherwise it'll be covered. I wanted the paint to at least be on the vertical edge, so there will be no bare wood between the metal and the pink (hard to control where exactly the edge of the tape lands.)That little bit of paint on the wood: do you plan to cover that with the metal tape? Scrape it off?
Thanks!That really came out great Neil!
By the way, I think you oughta call this thing "Ticonderoga". Seems like every yellow no. 2 pencil I ever had was a Dixon Ticonderoga...
Tape in addition to the protective film?Oh, and use tape to help prevent chipping.
If it does I can just claim it is intentional!Hoping this thing doesn't sky write!
