Estes Green Eggs #7301, Finished







The bottom end is clean - no decals or additional trim.






The large center logo name is a sticker on clear stock.
Handle it using a clean knife blade and wash your hands. Your fingers can leave prints and discoloration  that will be seen under the clear layer.
Like mentioned in some Quest builds - dip a plastic sticker in water before placing it on the body tube. It also helps to wet the body tube where the sticker will be placed.
Wetting the sticker lets you lift and reposition it before burnishing it down. I never get it right on the first try. 
Work out any water bubbles with a soft paper towel. You can also use a damp Q-tip to work out water from under the surface.






Here's a side by side view of two Green Eggs models. 
The Green Eggs is on on the left and the original Scrambler décor on the right. 

The two builds are the same height, there is just some camera distortion.

  1. A couple more nice builds, Chris. Makes me kinda want to build me an egglofter or two, but I've got enough other projects in the works right now. Great post!
