TLP Pershing #K046 Build, Part 9, Shrouds!

I thought the TLP Pershing long taper would be one piece like the old Estes Maxi Brute Pershing. On the Estes version, the nose cone was a huge blow molded thing. The entire nose cones was ejected.
On the TLP Pershing, only the balsa nose cone at the top is ejected.
The three shrouds are well supported on the inside.
The larger low shroud slides into the base of the middle shroud.
The middle shroud slides into the base of the upper, top shroud.

On the left is the nose cone, first top shroud and middle shroud.

Here's is a dry fit of the BT-100 and shroud assembly.
All three shrouds fit into the base of the shroud above it. It makes for a fairly strong assembly. Inside the shroud are centering ring supports.
It will take some work to fill the joints and shroud glue tabs.

I was concerned about the strength of the shrouds before I saw how it was all assembled. With support from centering rings and body tube ends, it's pretty strong and well engineered.
I was ready to do double layered "Super Shrouds" but that won't be necessary. With one shroud tucked into the next and the interior centering rings, nested double layer shrouds wouldn't work anyway.

That's a yardstick beside the dry fit of the Pershing.
It's really that tall!
