Steampunk Protostar, Part 32 - "A Little More Air, Please!"

The backyard deck build is finally finished!
Phew, what a ride....
Attention can now turn back to model rocketry, the long running Protostar build in particular.
This weekend saw the completion of an external air scoop for this "Ship of Fancy"
The build was very simple, with the scoop parts being cut from 1/16 balsa.

 Another curved balsa mounting plate similar to the one used on the launch lugs and smoke vent assemblies.

An application of glue dot rivets...

And a couple coats of  flat aluminum paint.

Done!

Stay tuned for yet more 'riveting' action!
