After the first strut dries you can match up the edges by sanding on a block. I'll usually cut the dowels a hair long so everything can be trimmed to size afterwards.
The short dowel is a bit tricky, don't use much glue at first. You can always add more after the piece is in the right position.
The long top piece is added last. Repeat four times!
In the upper picture you can see the center card stock piece is longer than the dowel ends.
The card stock extension was trimmed and the ends sanded.
I'm going to wait to glue the leg braces on. The rocket is painted yellow overall, the leg brace pieces will be painted orange and set in place with spray adhesive - no masking!
