He didn't get the LES tower built but of course the model didn't mind.

I saw Alex’s Semroc 1B build on of of the FB Rocketry groups. I commented that I thought he’d done a really nice job.
I started looking at the instructions tonight. I think I’ll start working on the built-up fins first. I probably ought to start on the RCS quads. Those could take awhile to complete!
