Here's a Mercury Redstone I started last spring with the Estes kit. I added a capsule and LES tower from Aerobotix (Shapeways) and used the wonderful wrap from Accur8. I also used the resin fins from Accur8. That took some time, as there was a little mixup in right/left (front/back?) halves and some miscommunication on my part, but John very graciously stuck with it and got me what I needed to complete it.
Well, technically it's not complete... I'm working on getting some decals to dress up the capsule. Right now it's just sitting there with a coat of Testor's metalizer exhaust. And I haven't attached any launch lugs. Still debating on that. I built it to fly, but I might be too afraid! lol But it's getting close so I thought I would share what I have so far:
