260 Space Booster Build Part 3 Shrouds

After the shrouds were printed up on 110 lb. card stock the rough cut shroud was taped on some unprinted stock.
I can cut two shrouds at the same time.

The shrouds from the PayloadBay.com Transition Tool are meant to be cut out right down the center of the printed line.
You can see I've already drawn a tab on the shroud side.


Typically, three shrouds are made of each transition. After trying all three on the BT-20, the best fitting shroud was kept for the model.

One of the three TA-2060 rings was slid on close to the shroud. Here I'm sanding off a little of the ring edge at the same angle of the shroud.
If done correctly, you shouldn't see the ring under the shroud after gluing.




Here's the dry fit of the two shrouds on the BT-20 motor mount tube.
