First the sides were set down, centered in the middle of the fillets.
Next a piece was set over the top.
Then two diagonals.
After the picture was taken, four more diagonals were added to further round off the leading edge.
The inset picture has the masking tape pieces over the Scotch Tape, widening the mask area.
A painting wand (dowel with engine casing) was set into the engine mount.
The bottom of a plastic grocery bag was punched over the dowel end. (The stick is upside down in the left side of the picture.)
The open end of the bag is taped around the other three fins and the body tube.
After spraying the tape was lifted.
On the left you can see some black over spray spots above the black fin.
A damp Mr. Clean Magic Eraser took off the paint.
Hard to believe that I'm getting excited about a square rocket! The magic eraser tip is a good one - never thought of that, better than spot sanding and touch-up painting.
