Estes Condor #0807 Build, Part 5, Centering Rings & Hold Down Strap




I also had to cut free the die-cut centering rings.

On the right - 
You can see the compression wrinkles from the die cut process.

On the left, I put a soft curve in the hold down strap by rolling it around a pencil.

The rings were slipped on dry (no glue yet) to find the center position of the engine hook retainer strap.

The center was marked with a pencil so the overlap would end up on the opposite side of the engine hook.



NEWBIES
: When gluing paper or cardstock you don't need a lot of glue. A thin coat (skin) cover spread over the entire face will be plenty.
