Steampunk ProtoStar #7, Still More Fin Prep

"The power of the Mighty D Engine compels you....The power of the Mighty D Engine compels you....The power of the....."

Oh !....Yes.....AHEM......Protostar......

The next step in fin prep/construction is to glue the two halves of each unit together.

This is done using double glue joints after which the fins are placed between sheets of waxed paper and a couple pieces of plate glass. 


A weight is placed on top to keep everything flat and in place until dry.

Once the completed fins are dry, they get another quick overall sanding.

Here are the completed fins.  They will be set aside while other Protostar assemblies will be worked on.
