Wanted something I could use as a Gum Cam or another egg carrier, so I grabbed one of these off eBay. This is the same rocket as the old Warp II, however this was originally sold as part of an educator bulk pack, and is now also OOP.

First rocket where I managed to stick myself in the finger with a razor blade, trying to scrape off enough plastic that the transition could slip into the clear body tube. Doh!

Just waiting for the paint to dry enough to do the decals. This is one of the later versions as it has the newer chute and peel/stick decals instead of the waterslides.

Now I just have to order a Gum Cam.

Nicely done. I bought one of these with the intention of turning it into a Warp II. (My brother in law has one that he rescued from a Goodwill store. It's been painted so heavily that the stages won't seperate. :D ) Wish I'd have bought several when I had the chance, if only for the payload section. ;)
