Binge Build: Forty Fin Fitting

 Yep, that's the number of balsa fin pieces spread across this six-rocket build.

The past couple of evenings has been spent in the process of gluing them on.

Again, I am deviating from my standard building MO in that I am attaching the fins before doing the grain filling and sanding. 

Usually, I do that part on the unassembled fins prior to attaching them, but I figured it might be better for the general flow of this project by doing it post-assembly.

The only exceptions are the small balsa vanes for the Crossfire ISX, and the fins for the Icarus booster section.  The latter are papered for extra strength.

Here is a pic of the first evening's 'fin attachment production line'.  I set up my portable workbench in the bedroom where I could watch a movie with the missus while gluing up fins:

Here is a pic of all the models with fins successfully attached. Kinda beginning to look like rockets!

Next step: applying fillets.

Here are the first two... only 78 more to go....
