Default Pics of tonights progress

Believe it or not, this still gets nine more tubes before it's finished. I'm also thinking about adding launch lugs and dowels for guns, and possibly changing the name to the Warlord Gunship.
No. I think I'll just stick with Warlord.
The nosecone is one that came with one of the few Ebay rocket that I bought and couldn't repair. It was an Estes SkyHi. Pretty much a basket case. Tubes were crushed in multiple spots, fins were missing, and the decal had been badly applied and had started to flake off. I started working on it, but gave up due to lack of progress and interest. It was the only rocket out of that purchase that never flew, so my success rate is still pretty high. (The jury is still out on the Centuri SSV Scorpion that I bought last year. I think I'll shoot for one launch for that one, then retire it and scoop out any usable parts for a rebuild.)
