Thanks very much. The SEMROC Excalibur full size was masked and painted and decaled in the traditional way, But the 13mm downscale was just printed on cardstock paper with an ink-jet printer and the body tubes rolled around dowels. Even the nose cone was made from cardstock paper with a few discrete conical transitions. I thought the clever part was naming the downscale version: "Sting."

And you should see their big brother, upscaled for 24mm power... MACHETE!

The upscale was made from an Amazon nose cone that I found in a school field near my house, and some wrapping paper tubes and paper towel rolls, not very pretty tubes from the recycle bin, but it also has a homemade twist-lock coupler at the transition made from toilet paper tubes laminated and a dowel. Paint scheme is from the original Centuri instructions, their recommended "challenging" scheme, but not pictured in any facecard or catalog image.
