This is getting more and more intense!
Left over from the oil refinery piping kit I bought over twenty years ago (and the Mars Lander I built a few years ago, too!). Still available here: https://www.walthers.com/piping-kit. On sale, even.
Perfect! I’ll add some access panels near the bearings.The axle is hidden inside the fin. There are openings in the fin allowing access to the axle bearing, and what we see externally are the covers that go over access area.
"Functional art" is most definitely a thing. I think people usually mean practical things like lamps, so I guess you're on to something with recreational functional art.This build is more of an art project than a rocket project, although function is necessary since I intend to launch it.
I've heard it said that art is never finished, but eventually it's done.Artists have said that many projects are never actually finished in their mind, but they do get tired of thinking about them or executing them or both, and the trick is to get them mostly done before that happens. This might be one of those projects!

At least it won’t be hard to get the CG right on that project !Heh, I have a parallel project underway to build a steampunk rocket lamp. Definitely functional. Definitely fun. Never had to build a dimmer switch controlled by a valve handle before....
Yes, that is the steampunk rocket lamp in progress in the background, sitting on a temporary base getting wired. Now I have something to do while the rivets dry.
You actually have a wide carriage tractor feed printer? And you can get paper for it?
To Mars in flaming glory? That's hilarious!
Hmmmm. Faucet handles are removable....You know, I so hoped that was your launch controller...
You simply HAVE write a book on how You are doing this design!!!!!!
Wellllll, that means I've GOT to get new ink cartridges for my printer!!!!!LOL!!!!!Thanks for the compliment. This thread is the book!
