That came out really well, worthy of display.

Thanks Marten.
But I think I may be undergoing cardstock fatigue now.
Time to get back to the regular stuff.

I think it looks good.

I've eyed the Oriole as a possible 1/5 scale project to go with my Talos, Terrier, Nike, Malemute, Tomahawk, and Apache collection. But it's 4" at that scale. Pretty big.

 

[kuririn]

Go for it Charles.
You know you want to.

 

[kuririn]

BTW would the Terrier-Oriole combo be the TERROR for short?

 

[Charles_McG]

I think a Black Brant will be next for me.

 

[John Kemker]

So, would a smaller version be a TATEOR-tot?

 

[GlenP]

that just looks like a good candidate for a 3-stage gap stager. When are they going to make a C5-0 booster motor?

The Terrier-Oriole might be my first scratch build in over 20 years, but not at 4"; like Charles said: too big.

The LOC Terrier booster is 3" and mates to a few of their kits for a first stage (Iris, BB, etc). Any kits out there that resemble the Oriole?

***Edit - I may ave posted this in the wrong place. Didn't notice this was a cardstock thread.

I don’t know, a 3” diameter card stock model might be interesting. Even if it as a saucer!

Beautiful job Kuririn. What are the dimensions?

 

[kuririn]

Length: 27"
Dia.: Talos 24mm, Terrier 14mm, Oriole 17mm/14mm.
Option to build tapered fins instead of flat.

Fun build, though I thought it was a PITA at the time.

Thank you

That right there is something to be proud of. If there was such a thing as “too pretty to fly”, that would be it.

Biggest diameter tube you can make from one single sheet, rolled along the paper grain, is 8.5"/Pi, about 2.7", I made a 24mm Big Daddy type rocket like that, it has a through tube with several centering rings for support.

I think I may be undergoing cardstock fatigue now.

If that TATEOR ever has a CATO, then you would have a TATEOR salad. Yeah, that one does look like it would burn you out on cardstock for a while, like going through the trouble of building 3 really nice detailed rockets, but you only end up with one after all that effort. Still, a very nice looking one.

If it goes backwards, is it a helicopter since it ROETATs?
