1/96 SeaLaunch
Gang, Here's my latest WIP: a 1/96 SeaLaunch Zenit rocket designed by Mark Lardas. The kit goes together easily so far. The interstage truss was a bit of a pain, but my workaround was to just cut it from a single sheet of photo paper rather than backing it with the gray kit part. I then painted both the exterior and interior with a mix of acrylic paints. The small rocket nozzles on the second stage are plastic pieces scrounged from the spares box; I still can't produce cones that small! Stay tooned. More to come!

Spectacular colours! And nice and glossy, too. Those Russian trussworks are always a pain in the neck. But in real life it has its advantages. Luckily this is just a small one - and you used the best technique. Nice work, Les. Very nice work.
Where did you get this one? |

Looks great. And, yes, you can make nozzles that small. Just use thinner paper and use the sharpened end of a pencil or a pen as a former.

Thanks for sharing this build. I had downloaded this model some time ago, but have been hesitant to start because I could not find instructions. I will follow your build progress. You have done a great job, very precise.
Thank you! Kevin |

Yeah, lack of instructions is a glaring fault in what is otherwise a most excellent model. Fortunately it's not too complicated, especially if you go to the SeaLaunch site (Sea Launch | Home Page) and download a bunch o' pix mission by mission.

Where is the download site for that? I had downloaded one of these, but I went back to look at the kit when I saw this thread, and my file was corrupted. Not sure what happened.

There it is! Explains why I couldn't find it, it's behind the Yahoo groups firewall. Thanks much!
