When in doubt... build hell-for-stout!
Has anybody tried making a rectangular, triangular or other such shape as a wooden buck... and then soaking a carboard body tube, placing / forcing it over the buck, and then letting it dry?
If needed, after the tube is dry, it could be soaked in CA for strength? As @Daddyisabar would say, "Poor Man's Phenolic".
Seems like a workable concept for making odd-roc models?
I know fiberglass is an option, a messy sticky nasty option. Let's stay focused here... cardboard tubes.
