I had gotten to the K-9 Spaceman a while back (in 2016) in the quest of my K-kit builds when I became distracted with making a special space for rocket building. As a result, some of my builds sat partially built for a long time.

I've returned to finishing them. So, the next project is the K-10 Cobra.

Since I did a scratch build meant to copy the appearance, and not necessarily the internals, I started by laser cutting parts, and casting a resin nose cone.

The Cobra originally calls for a balsa transition between the booster and the payload. I decided to use a paper transition, because I could draw it and cut it with the laser. I don't have a laser cutting lathe to laser cut transitions. But, it would be a cool tool to have.
