And an excellent one. I have used q-tips the same way but for this project they weren't long enough. I suspect the lolly pop sticks would fit the bill, I'll definitely look for some.

Thanks for the comments, no pic tonight but I did get two of the inner shrouds glued on, giving the ship a diameter over 12". It is starting to get bulky and with the fins on it should have a width of about 18". I' m itchin' to get the engines on but Im following the instruction steps.
