Construction Photos

Rocket is done! The next few posts will have photos showing different parts along with the parts again as they are glued to complete the model.

These photos were hard to take = how do you fit such large parts into the whole frame? Lighting isn't very good, flash didn't help any (too bright of reflection from white areas).

Anyway here are the photos.

Photo 1 are the Engine Bell parts. They are correct diameter and height, however the top sections are just round tubes, not the actual parts, this was done to reduce weight for flying.

Photo 2 shows the 3rd Stage parts.
