Well, I got the Micromax bug again (50 engines in the starter set just begging to be lit off!), so I decided to see if I could shrink the FlisKits Midnight Express down to micromax scale. The answer is yes, but it wasn't easy. If I was going to do it again, I'd probably use 24# paper instead of 110# cardstock (it rolls and folds a lot easier). And a couple of pieces (the nosecone shoulder, engine block and launch lug) had to be modified a bit to make them work, but here is the result. On the left is my full sized Midnight Goblin (a Goblin "repaint" of the ME), and to the right is one of Quest's RTF Micromax rockets, the Vector I. In the center is the Micro ME, in all it's glory!
BTW, if anyone wants to try this, print the pdf file at 37% scale. And be sure to form the body tube around a couple of micromax engines.
