Estes Strikefighter, Kit #2015, Build, Part 2, Making The Cardstock Rings

There are cardstock rings that slide over the 1/8" diameter dowel "gun and radar pod". I don't have a laser cutter, I'll have to cut them out by hand.

The template PDFs from Jim Z's printed up full size when when checked against the printed ruler.

The larger ring was printed onto 115 lb. stock, cut out and traced onto framing mat stock. The center hole wasn't cut out. 

Small thick rings are hard to cut out with a hobby knife. I used some heavy scissors. Just make them as round as you can.

Sand down the high spots using 220 grit on a block.

On the left is a rough cut with scissors.

On the right is after sanding and rounding with the sanding block.
 

Six are needed, I had to throw out one.

They're not kit perfect, but will be fine on the clone build.
