What else are you to do when you have a blizzard outside and stuck on painting three builds? Look at your inventory and start another one! First time building a Dr. Zooch, so I'm documenting to keep track. First, the instructions are really hilarious! Gotta love his sense of humor! The details are pretty cool too.
Edit: before reading my post, I HIGHLY recommend reading Mushtang's build thread here: https://www.rocketryforum.com/showt...To-Flight-Space-Shuttle-build-thread-2/page11 starting at post #304. He's really helped me through some things later in this thread that had I originally read what he did would have saved a few headaches!!
So the first step was to draw four guide lines on the External Tank. Next was to cut out the wraps for the SRBs and glue them on. Once I got them around, I wrapped a piece of wax paper around and then taped it tight to get them to adhere in place. Here's a shot after pulling off the covering. (Sorry so large...photobucket is dorking up again)
Nice details here...about to cut out the STB Skirts.
Completed SRBs
Fun so far.
