I vaguely recall that one--yes, that would be a very good "starter project" plan that kids, teachers & group leaders (and other adults) who are new to DIY scale modeling in model rocketry could build using "The Art of Scale Model Rocketry" as a guide. For class and youth group projects, they could set up a 'production line' rolling & joining the strap-on boosters' cones, frustums, and tubes, and also for assembling the trusses and interstage frames. These types of activities build skill through practice (which resides in the hands as well as in the mind and the eyes, once it's developed), which will help the participants in future scale modeling projects (such as building from the other scale rocket plans in the book) and in building & painting projects in general. |
