Too cold and windy to paint today so I started on my Estes Nike Smoke. CR's glued to MMT (aft one only tacked). Holes drilled for rail buttons and forward button epoxied in. Fins built and waiting for the MMT to dry so I can sand the CR notches as they are not wide enough to accept the fins.

Hello Griffin, I see you're the Prefect down at QCRS. I sent a check down for membership this past week, to Steve. Just wanted to give you guys a heads-up. I would have called to introduce myself, but there was no number on the form...so I just sent the check.

That looks like a sweet kit!
I had never seen all the parts laid out like that before, but now I kinda' want one!
So far today, I rummaged through the 72 gallon trashcan in search of the I300T liner with seal disk still attached (d'oh!) from yesterday's LUNAR Sow Ranch launch.
Aside from sanding/filling of various projects, this weekend I built up this BT60-sized Black Brant III.

At this scale, it's 34.5" tall, with a 24mm mount. It winds up being similar (in a lot of respects) to the OOP D-Region Tomahawk in terms of size and weight. Though for this, I used the Shapeways 3D-printed fin unit, as sort of an experiment. I'll be ordering decals from Stickershock this week. This makes the 9th rocket I've built over the winter that's waiting for warm weather to paint. Once that hits, I'll be painting for weeks...
The elusive ones are still elusive, like the booster for the Aster-30, but I got a bunch of good ones.
What info do you need? I may have a few more pictures since I sent you the disk, but it's probably stuff I found on the MBDA site (or elsewhere on the web...).
Here's a really wacky idea - contact MBDA and see what they would provide. The worst they could do is say no (and call Homeland Security).
Nice!! Love the paint job. Post video.... Or else!
Tried cleaning the crud off the 38 mm seal disk first baby wipes which are magical but no dice. Broke out the Palmolive w OxyClean and again no dice. Got serous and tried some Slip2000 Crud Killer but still no joy. Hoppe Elite spray didn't do much either. The seal disk is now soaking in some CLP.
I'll check on it tomorrow. Hopefully the stains will be gone. It's a gold anodized disk and the stains do show.

Awesome video indeed!
Although, is that a plane contrail at 0:26 to 0:28?
Yes, but it was flying well over 30,000' and the rocket wasn't expected to go over 2000'.
I began work on some lightweight carbon skinned, balsa core fins.
