This is my first build thread on TRF. Be gentle with me, I am a BAR. I have been looking at paper micro rockets and they look really fun, but i thought i should nimble up my big meaty paws with a LPR prior to tackling tiny lil micros. So here it goes.
I am going to start with the free Fliskit "Midnight Express" I like the looks and it comes with a blank template that I have my three year old future modeler scribbling on as I type. On to the project...
I will be using this batch of paper I picked up from Wally World for a whopping $5.88
Seems pretty straight forward and looking over the instructions I begin work on the body tube
It said use a table to begin rounding the paper but I found this small piece of PVC to worked just fine.
A bit of extra tight rolling at the edges to get a good curve at the seam
Then tucked it neatly away and moved on to the cone, so far so good.
