Progress for the day

This is how far I made it today.

Work tomorrow, maybe a few hours afterwards to get the wiring done.

Test fit of parts:

Progress on second steam/smoke cloud, still one side is drying, combine the two sides and then spray with Super 77 and repeat clouds:

As you can see, this is a big diorama, as it is right at 5ft tall, and looks like a little over 6ft long. I've got the perfect 4ft long table to display this.

Once this proves out, I will be printing a new rocket with plenty of upgrades for the display rocket. Returning this one back to flight

Problem

Just ran out of snow. Need two more bags, this new side took 1-1/2Bags to do.

A couple of photos before heading to bed.

Partial vertical cloud and the smaller horizontal cloud:

Lights on to see what it looks like, still lots to do, but this is very encouraging:

Tomorrow after buying more snow from Walmart, will be a day of metal tin snip work as I create the disc the lights will be mounted too. Once done, wiring and final paper parts install.

Once complete, will be pulling different paper and re-printing a new rocket worthy of the display. Return this one back to flight status.

Already have tunnels created for wiring and lights. Once done shouldn't be any wires visible. 100's of lights each strand. 2-each red and 1 each yellow.

Black light strand is 16.5ft long. Hope it gets here soon.

Now that I have the two piece exhaust cone, beginning to look like more light is needed...

Just realized: I've designed a Stomp Rocket Display Stand, everyone of my stomp rockets will fit. Wait'll the F104 Starfighter gets stuck on the tube!
