Got the parts in to repair my Gforce and Initiator and Im nearly done. The Gforce took a nose dive straight out of the sky so I had to nearly build the whole thing. Replaced both body tubes and the nose cone. The rest I salvaged off the crashed one. I cant remember what happened to the Initiator but it got a new fin and I fixed up the bottom of the body tube that was crushed in. It turned out pretty good I think for just winging it. I straightened it out the best i could, poured some glue on it and laid out a piece of paper on top of the glue. Primed and sanded it and you cant even barely tell it was damaged. I think Im gonna paint it blue.

Finished building my Strong Arm and I primed it. I thought it looked pretty cool in grey so I added the stickers and sprayed a few coats of clear on it. Its now my favorite rocket. I love the way it turned out.

Also finished up the Hiflier XL and painted it green. That was just a quick build, nothing special. Didnt shape the fins either which I usually do. Just primed it, sanded the fins smooth, and painted it.

Sorry the pics are so big, whoops. Had to use Photobucket cause uploading them straight from my computer they were sideways.
