Thanks guys. Here's a selection of the finished rockets. Ignition wires are made of 0.2mm lead wire. Should get these installed later today and post finished pics.

Cheers Terry and Cory. And now, as promised, finished pictures of this model. Sorry for all the dust. I did brush off the top surface but not the bottom and this colour really shows up the lint!

Thanks everyone for your comments and support!
