This seems halfway to being a scratchbuild.
Should be impressive when finished either way.
Exactly my thoughts. It's going precisely that way.

What material is that? Are you going to try to smooth it out?
I Tried those they are SUPER flimsy. After I removed them from the tree and went to use them they just snapped of neck of nozzle with very little pressure.View attachment 296368 View attachment 296369 The RCS nozzles in 1/48th scale.

They aren't any less flimsy than any styrene pieces I've used. I also use a pair of cutters designed specifically for cutting sprue.

Mine broke after being cut and glued into the housing.
In order to finish my rocket I had buy. 1 48 scale command and service module from Dragon just for the rcs system

Very nice work!!:clap:!
I just got Z-poxy last time I was ordering epoxies, and have yet to try it, but you have given me the inspiration I needed.
Now I need to get some denatured alcohol.
I've never thinned epoxy before, but I'll try a test of your 1:1:1 mix on something. I need to do the lightest of glassing on a few things, and this way sounds like just the ticket!
Z-Poxy is NOT a structural epoxy as I call it but a laminating epoxy. I wouldn't use it in place of regular epoxy. It's the only time I ever thin epoxy is for using this product for glassing. Is weight critical on your project? If it is, after you apply the first coat use a plastic scraper or old credit card to "squeegee" the excess off. If it's on a difficult surface, (something that a card or similar might be awkward in using) just use paper towels to blot up the excess. And yes use rubber gloves as this process can get messy pretty quick.
