Can you guess?

Secret Santa BT60 nose cone.

NC for a Deuce ?

 

[Mike Howie]

Lets add 10 in of BT60.
5 in of BT70, with 2 in of BT70 for detailing.
That's it for now.

...a really cool rocket? Haha. More clues!

 

[Gillard]

yes - it's probably going to be a rocket - possible a biggish rocket
MORE CLUES NEEDED

 

[Mike Howie]

A couple of BT6070 centering rings.

This spaceship is a personal favorite of mine. I've built at least five
different sizes of it. This one is going to be a 24 mm version.

TRF has had several build/picture threads of others interpretation of this
famous ship.

Glue on the rings and make part of the tailcone.

Lets wait some more. (It gets MY post count up. )

Thunderbird 3?

 

[Mike Howie]

Thunderbird 3?

Good guess, but nope. Keep trying.

How about adding a 24mm motor mount. The shrouds fit together to form the
tailcone.

I think the next post will give it away.

 

[Mike Howie]

slice the 2in piece of bt70, slide it on the rear of the large bt70 and glue on.
use pieces of styrene to make the 2in detail have ridges.
use VCP to make a bt70 to bt60 shroud for the front.


someone should have it now.

If not the fins on the next post will do it. it's very recognizable.

 

[rokitflite]

Its an Alpha III... Right?

 

[BsSmith]

It looks EXTREMELY familiar, I just can't think of what it is!

 

[jj94]

Is it a scale rocket?

 

[Mike Howie]

Not an Alpha.
Yes, it is extremely familiar.
It is scale, but not of a real rocket.





I just love "pulling the strings" on this thread.

 

[MarkM]

Mars Snooper?

Big clue, Big clue>

How about the Fireball XL5?

 

[mach7]

Has to be Fireball XL5. That's Steve Zodiac!

 

[Mike Howie]

ding, ding, ding, we have winners!

I used hollow fins to try and keep the weight down. I've had the "shrinkage"
problem using paper, so I skinned the fins with 1/32 balsa.

Now I just have to paint it.
