Quest Planet Probe #Q1022, Part 1 Parts


The Quest Planet Probe packaging is large and flat!
Good thing - you don't want the large conical body print to have any curves set into it that might work against forming of the shroud. 

Below are all the parts -

I'm not a big fan of the thin, rough yellow motor mount tubing. It certainly works fine but I usually end up strengthening the exposed surfaces with CA glue. You can apply the CA after the fins and launch lug are glued on. CA glue will seal the tube and won't allow wood glue to soak in. Some of the tube roughness can be sanded smooth after a coat of CA.

Here's the parts of interest - 

On the left is the heavy die-cut cardstock. Three fins and a single centering ring.

Below that is the big body shroud print. Great, colorful art that'll add a lot to the finished look. You can also form the shroud with the printing on the inside and apply your own custom décor to the outside white surface.
