Steps 30 & 31 completed this week. For the aerodynamic spike, I started with some 1/12" dowel from my recent eRockets order, and sanded down to 1/16". Probabably not perfect scale, but the goal here is faithful build of the kit, not scale accuracy. It's much stronger than using the mahogany pieces. Figure 31 says to take a 1/64" strip of decorator tape & wrap around the jettison rocket. I just cut a strip from some masking tape, probably more like 1/32", and even that was hard to deal with.
