Sunward Explorer
What kit has me building a barrel out of a roughly 2.125" diameter, raw cardboard tube with a cavernous seam? Why, Sunward's Explorer, of course. I'll hafta scavenge an Alpha cone, 'cause there's no way I'm filling the chasmic defect on the kit's Blue Beauty. Luckily I have an 18" BT-50 in stock to replace the creased specimen from the sack. Fins are CWF'd.

Wait a sec!
I found a sack of these type balsa cones around, from a long-ago ebay score! This'll work just fine.

Matthew Stafford vs. Used Toilet Paper.
When first I gazed upon this 2.125" diameter, raw cardboard tube, with the chasmic seams, I had no idea that I was met with an Agent of Transformation; a Catalytic Train Ride, on Rails to Nirvana.
Here she is, sanded to Velvety-Smoothness, after 1.5 coats of Aerogloss Dope. |

Ya got her Spun, now, Rex.
Up, Down, Left, Right?
She's been thrown into C-C-Crisis! A Raw Throw-Away Tube, a BT-70 Coupler? Papered, Primered, does it ever matter? Can she ever hope to be more than the sum of her parts? Dressed in 2x Primer, now; sanding when she's cured. This's like Martin Sheen juxtaposed with a twirling ceiling fan, punching a mirror, only more dramatic. yipes. (I feel I'm echoing the B.S. drama swirling about the Lions' chances of winning that game last night.) |

Entertaining build!
I wonder why they would put an unpainted model on the facecard like that? Looks uninviting. |
