Estes Twin Factor #7250, Build, Part 2, Forming The Shrouds



The cardstock shrouds have a separate inside glue tab for a smooth outside joint.

Rough up the glossy surface with some 400 grit sandpaper before applying glue.




With a sanding block, square up the laser cut edge for a cleaner matched joint.

One thing about gluing paper to paper, you need very little glue. Just be sure the glue covers the entire area covered by the glue tab.


This shows a pretty good match of the shroud ends. The glue tab is inside, underneath the seam.  

In this model you construct two identical stages. Every step in the  construction is doubled.
