Very cool! I am a bit late to this party. I remember when Shrox released the images of the Sarah Connors. Very neat design.
I like your oval-tangular tubes! :-)

I must make some of those! Not sure what, but it will not be the first time I design a rocket based on some odd component!
I tend to build lighter (understatement of the year!) so I will try the technique with just body tubes. Very clever using the stair tread for your forms.
I am looking forward to future posts on this project.

Well, after the 5th application of CWF, and subsequent sanding, it's finally primer time!

Sanded and then applied another coat of Gray Rustoleum 2 in 1 Filler Sandable.

Let that dry a couple hours, sanded the Gray and then applied a coat of Rustoleum Rusty Metal Primer, which is Red-Oxide.

Sanded and sprayed what is likely the last coat of primer... color coats are next.
