An update: Started cutting paper today. Got the nose section done. I used joiner strips for two of the sections, but otherwise glued the edges. (Or, more accurately, glued bulkheads together....) So far, so good. This really is a well-designed model.
One of the things I'm looking at doing, looking ahead, is weathering the vehicle with pastel chalks. The X-15s got kind of grimey and paint burned off. (The vehicles' blue-black color came from the Inconel it was built out of, but some panels were painted black.)
