I am a multicraft maintenance guy that has recently gotten back into rocketry, and I have been enjoying building fin jigs, alignment tools, work stands and launch pads.
Wow, Scott nice work. thanks for sharing. I have to research launch pads next. I would like to have a launch pad that can handle multiple size lug rods. great job on your custom tools and fixtures. It's part of the fun figuring out possible better ways to do things.
Today I have to decide which direction to go regarding paint and finishes. I have bought several paints and returned them as I changed my mind. I think I am going to shoot for Semi gloss or Satin paint with just a regular 2x primer. I also need to look around the forum a tad to learn how to wet sand or prep the model during the primer stage.
One of the first post I read when I came here to the forums were by EXPjawa. His red Nova build and paint work were top notch. I felt like UPS'ing my kit to him with a blank check I admired his work so much. (jk!)
