hay guys its been a while since i last posted but i have been working on my project. i cast my rocket boosters i also had to make a silicon *coff* plug for the inside of the boosters as for the fuel pipes i got some flexable water pipes and screwed some bolts into the end then cut the...

ive been doing some work on the glove controls for the past week ive also made a rocket base/booster using a lathe and some high density foam. i will make a mold and make two hollow casts of this
