Oh wow !These were done using Cricut permanent vinyl...
Big Bertha build. Anyone know where I can get replacement Big Bertha decals?
All I'm doing is tearing the paper apart...I can not get the decal separated from the paper and this point I've ruined all of the corners

Maybe I should look at the directionsI would guess that's a waterslide decal...but maybe not.

Was it the Dr. Zooch kits that required you to roll body tubes? You'd probably really hate those.Put another layer of lightweight body filler on TLP Indigo kit. Anyone making a kit that uses copy paper for a NC tip and tailcone needs to be hung from a tall tree. The dam#*ed stuff only has a 3 minute working time My wife went to the Dollar Tree store and bought some spatulas to apply the body filler, The filler comes right off the slick plastic after hardening and is flexible too. Sanded it, now have to put a third coat on it. I'm glad that guy quit making cheap A$$ kits.
Ordered, for the first time ever, some stuff from BMS.
to work on a scratch scale that I can't say I've ever seen done.
The TLP Plan Packs also required rolling your own tubes in some cases...like the Nike Hercules Plan PackWas it the Dr. Zooch kits that required you to roll body tubes? You'd probably really hate those.
...pain in the butt , just trying to save$$ ?The TLP Plan Packs also required rolling your own tubes in some cases...like the Nike Hercules Plan Pack
Instead of rolling the 4 booster tubes on my Nike Herc TLP PP, I used BMS T-204 as its almost exactly the right size and BT80 is close enough for the sustainer iirc....pain in the butt , just trying to save$$ ?
I go with easy, aka : keep it simple stupid !! lol
The TLP kits were designed to be midpower kits at best, most were meant to be built light enough to fly on D motors yet also be of fairly impressive size so building light was a must, iirc they were around back in the 90's when mid power motors while available were not as prevalent as today.Put another layer of lightweight body filler on TLP Indigo kit.

If you want to avoid that level of fabrication in your future kit builds, by all means do so. Don't propose hanging anyone else who enjoys it.Put another layer of lightweight body filler on TLP Indigo kit.

Estes produces one, the Tech-Pak Scratch Build. Erroneously marked as a Beginner kit on their website and absent from the 2022 catalog.Was it the Dr. Zooch kits that required you to roll body tubes? You'd probably really hate those.
Seconded.If you want to avoid that level of fabrication in your future kit builds, by all means do so. Don't propose hanging anyone else who enjoys it.
The lesson being "next time, pack a chainsaw."Same as when one gets lost to the rocket-eating trees; no need to rage, just apply the lesson.
