A few new pics. Working on upgrades to make the build a lot more accurate and a lot easier to reproduce the parts. These are cast in pewter. The nosecones I made by putting a huge chunk of plastic on the lathe and got it to the right taper. Then I made a fairly complicated two part mold that I was able to pour enough pewter into to force the pewter up the walls and into the right shape. The other parts are made by hand from aluminum, and then simpler two part molds are made from them. These parts are shown literally out of the mold, first try, without any cleanup done to them. I am also trying to cast the top radiator section, but I ran out of the mold material and I am waiting on new stuff to arrive before I can pour the second half of the molds. Even though my design is very accurate, none of the parts from the original plastic version are interchangeable. The boosters on the original are 7" diameter, and mine are 7.25".
