BULLET BOBBY (CARL “Be-Do, Be-Do, Be-Do” THE MINION) by Launch Lab Rocketry build log

[JoeFilgas]

My CARL MINION build log: today I put all the finishing touches on. Special thanks to my bride, Lorrena for producing the vinyl additions to this rocket! I installed the arms and legs using a syringe to apply the internal epoxy to hold them all in. The final flight cap was primered and sprayed metallic silver to match the other two. When I receive the dummy lights I’ll glue into each and the flight plugs will be complete. Next I added the vinyl trim and connected all the laundry. This project is now officially finished! Thanks to everyone for following along on this fun build! BE-DO, BE-DO, BE-DO!

My 5 yr. old grandson had a toy minion with him today when he came to visit, so I showed him this thread. He loved it!

Well today I painted the BT yellow and epoxied the goggle eye to the unpainted area I had masked. I now wish I would have glued this on first like I did with KING BOB, but it is too late now. I will need to do some touch up paint work all the way around the goggle. Then even though the paint was dry to the touch I stupidly pulled the elastic goggle band into a partial position and it left impression marks into the soft paint. Oh well also too late now. Now it’s dry for a week before the blue can go on. Still waiting on the red lights so I can’t do anything else on the nose cone yet either. That’s it for now!

What yellow paint did you use? Nice colour and it looks like it's got a good pigment density.
