Estes Leviathan built and FINALLY painted
Took forever to paint this thing. Lots of different reasons but I finally got it done. I went with a WWII fighter plane theme for this rocket inspired by one of my kids toy planes. I just kinda winged and figured things out as I went along. I did the girlie "nose art" last and it's pretty small... just over 3 inches tall. No decals on this rocket, everything is paint. The rivets actually came out a lot better than I thought they would and I heeded the advice I got in regards to painting them in a previous thread and used a micro brush to apply them. All in all I'm pretty happy with the outcome and I definitely learned a few things along the way. Enjoy the photos!

It's like rocket porn.
Any significance to the 53?

Thanks guys! My wife's name is Melissa so I thought it would be cool to have her represented. As for the 53, no real significance it's just the number I wore when I played football so I'm still kind of partial to it.
